I have seen a lot more recipes with beets in the lately. This one for beet brownies was an interesting one and one I wanted to try. I’m not a brownies fan but, I like the idea of making a very common and loved dessert with someone healthy! The brownies were very good, moist, not dry at all. They were dense with an almost fudgey characteristic to them. They were very decadent. I was hoping for a more purple colour but no such luck. Very brownies coloured! Despite the lack of purple, definitely a recipe I would make again.
