Why You’ll Love These Brownies:

• Perfectly Fudgy Texture – Thanks to coconut oil and dark chocolate, these brownies are irresistibly rich and moist.

Ingredients:

• 100g coconut oil (plus extra for greasing)

• 2 x Britt’s Superfoods Beetroot Sachet

• 3 large eggs

• 60g cocoa powder

• 100g soft, pitted dates

• 100g wholemeal self-raising flour

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 75g plain dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa solids), roughly chopped

• 2 tbsp white chocolate (roughly chopped or in chips)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare Your Tin

Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6). Grease and line a 20cm square loose-based cake tin with non-stick baking paper to ensure the brownies release easily once baked.

2. Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a food processor, blend the Britt’s Superfoods Beetroot Sachet, eggs, cocoa powder, dates, and coconut oil until smooth and well combined. If you don’t have a food processor, mash the dates before mixing everything together with a hand blender or whisk.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the wholemeal self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, and bicarbonate of soda. If the batter feels too thick, add a tablespoon of water to loosen it slightly—this helps it spread evenly in the tin.

4. Fold in the Chocolate

Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. These chocolate chunks will melt during baking, creating delicious pockets of gooey goodness.

5. Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into your prepared tin and spread it evenly. Bake for around 20 minutes, or until the brownies have risen slightly and feel firm to the touch. They should remain a little soft in the centre for that classic fudgy texture.

6. Cool and Slice

Allow the brownies to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before carefully turning them out. Once slightly cooled, cut into squares or rectangles—whichever size you prefer!

Tips for Perfect Brownies:

• The Power of Beetroot – The Britt’s Superfoods Beetroot Sachet is packed with antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support heart health. It’s an easy way to boost your nutrient intake without compromising on flavour.

• Quality Matters – Opt for dark chocolate with at least 85% cocoa solids for a deep, rich chocolate taste.

• Storage – Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

These brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion—whether it’s a midweek pick-me-up or a special gathering. And the best part? They sneak in a healthy dose of beetroot, so you can enjoy every indulgent bite with a little less guilt!

Happy baking—and even happier eating!
