I personally think these are the best brownies in the world. Try them, I think you'll agree! To make the brownies rich and buttery, use melted butter instead of the vegetable oil.

BETTER BEETROOT BROWNIES



Better beetroot brownies image

Nutritious beetroot adds sweetness and juiciness to this healthier squidgy chocolate traybake. Swap butter for rapeseed oil to lower the saturated fat too

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

500g whole raw beetroot , washed
100ml rapeseed oil
250g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa, dairy-free if you want, chopped)
3 large eggs
200g golden caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
140g plain flour
75g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
50g walnut piece , roughly chopped
100g icing sugar
1 tbsp beetroot juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm cake tin with baking parchment. Boil the beetroots in a pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 mins or until tender. Drain and leave to cool before peeling (wear clean rubber gloves to peel if you want to avoid beet-stained hands). Chop one-third of the cooked beetroots into small cubes and blitz the remainder in a blender or food processor to a paste. Sit the paste in a sieve over a bowl - just until you have collected 1-2 tbsp juice. Save this for the icing, and mix the oil into the purée.
  • Melt the chocolate slowly in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and leave to cool slightly. Use an electric whisk to beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl until light, fluffy and tripled in size. Carefully fold the eggs into the beetroot mixture, followed by the melted chocolate. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder, then add walnuts and the chopped beetroot.
  • Pour into your prepared tin and bake for 20-25 mins. The brownies should still be slightly gooey in the middle. Allow to cool. Mix enough reserved beetroot juice with the icing sugar to get a runny icing - dilute with water if you need. Remove brownies from the tin, drizzle with the icing and cut into squares.

I LOVE these brownies! Unlike most other brownie recipes, these are not 'cake', nor are they 'fudge'. They are chewy and not too sweet. More like 'Blondies' but definitely chocolate. My mom made these all the time, and I made them when I was in my teens and early twenties. But as I got older, didn't bake, wanted to reduce my...

This is a great recipe for people who are vegan or just looking for a desert that tastes good. You can replace the sugar entirely by doubling the amount of stevia powder. You can also replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole grain flour.

BETTER-THAN-CASH BROWNIES



Better-Than-Cash Brownies image

I've been making these brownies for a while -- they're easy and inexpensive, and absolutely delicious -- but had neglected to post the recipe here. I recently made two batches of these as a thank-you gift for someone who refused to take payment for some work done for me, and they were a huge hit. I then realized I couldn't point anyone towards the recipe, as I often do, so it's definitely time to get this recipe on Zaar so it can be shared with everyone! I was told that these were "better than cash", hence the name!

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 40m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
3/4 cup cocoa (I highly recommend using natural cocoa, not dutch process cocoa)
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; lightly grease an eight-inch baking pan (I spray it very lightly with Pam) and set aside.
  • Place the butter chunks in a glass mixing bowl and microwave on Medium power until melted (I find High power causes the melting butter to spatter all over the inside of my microwave, while the gentler power level seems to prevent this).
  • Put the cocoa, salt and instant coffee into a sieve (or sifter) and sift mixture into the melted butter -- you may need to use your fingers to force the coffee granules through the sieve -- and whisk until smooth.
  • Next, add in the sugar and whisk well; then add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition just until blended. Whisk in vanilla.
  • Using a sieve (or sifter), sift flour over chocolate mixture, then stir with a wooden spoon just to incorporate flour. Batter will be thick.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan, smoothing top, and scatter a topping of your choice (nuts, chocolate chips, etc), if desired, over top. Twenty pecan halves or walnut halves, evenly spaced out, looks great and suits those who don't like nuts in brownies, as they can easily be picked off.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-32 minutes. A tester should come out with some crumbs on it. Do not overbake or brownies will not be fudgey. Let cool, in pan, then cut into small squares. Expect these brownies to not cut cleanly, some bits will cling to the knife.

No butter, eggs, white flour or white sugar - but plenty of taste! Do you love brownies but just wish they could be a little healthier for you? Fiber rich oats are more filling; heart-healthy canola oil instead of butter. Plus, the total amount of fat is reduced and applesauce added to keep the brownies moist and sweet. Pecans add healthy monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, and minerals. I believe this recipe was clipped from a Reader's Digest magazine.
