Ingredients

Makes one 8x8 pan (9–12 brownies)

• 1 cup finely grated raw beet (about 1 medium beet, peeled)
  
  
• 2 large eggs
  
  
• ½ cup maple syrup
  
  
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
  
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  
  
• ½ cup almond flour
  
  
• ¼ cup oat flour (or sub: gluten-free all-purpose flour)
  
  
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
  
  
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  
  
• Optional: ½ cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
  
  
• Optional: 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed for added fiber
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla.
   
   
3. Fold in the grated beet and mix until evenly distributed.
   
   
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt, and flaxseed (if using).
   
   
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
   
   
6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
   
   
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
   
   
8. Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Store in fridge for up to 5 days (they get fudgier overnight!).
   
   

Nourish Notes

• Beets are rich in folate, fiber, and antioxidants that support liver detox and estrogen balance.
  
  
• Almond flour + eggs = blood sugar–stabilizing fats and protein for steady energy.
  
  
• Cocoa supports dopamine and serotonin levels—great for PMS, mood, and mental clarity.
