Ingredients

¾ cup of beet puree*
½ cup (4 ounces) of good-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
7 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature

*I used red and candy-striped beets. I peeled them and then boiled them until they were easily pierced with a fork. I then pureed them in a food processor and measured out the ¾ cup. The rest of it was delicious with a bit of butter, salt and pepper. Also, the puree is absolutely gorgeous and can be used as a stand-out side dish.

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F.

Melt chocolate. Set aside.

Whisk flour with baking powder and salt and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar together. And vanilla and eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is creamy. Add melted chocolate, beet puree, and flour mixture. Mix well.

Pour batter into 9 x 13 baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.

Let cool and cut into triangles. Serve with fresh-picked raspberries or any other fruit and share with family.
