Why trust us?

You’ve got half a cooked beetroot just sitting there in your fridge from the last time a recipe called for half a beet. And you have no idea what to do with it. Look no further: as unbelievable as it sounds, you’ve got what you need for a fudgy-licious batch of extra chocolatey beet brownies! The blood-red root isn’t only great in savory dishes. It’s time for the beet to show off its sweeter side. And just to make sure it doesn’t feel too lonely, we’ve given it some avocado for company, topping these brownies off with a creamy, intensely flavored frosting. Try it out and spoil yourself and the ones you love.
