So, I finally cracked. Having heard and seen so many variants of beetroot brownies I gave in and created a batch.
I understand the reasons for putting vegetables into cakes and I believe it can add moisture and longevity to a cake, but carrot cake has always been my limit!
@LoveBeetroot passed on their recipe for me to try via Twitter .
So I gave it a go. The results were a deliciously moist brownie with a subtle hint of beetroot but not to overpowering. What I also love about the recipe is that it’s gluten free.
The recipe can be found here on the love beetroot website:

Give it a go, I would love to see your feedback and any other creations with beetroot.
Tweet them to me @JoechefBartlett
