Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, grated beetroots, coconut sugar, and honey (if using). Mix well.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the beetroot mixture.
Step 3
Mix in the egg and egg white, one at a time, followed by the softened butter and olive oil (or another oil of your choice). Stir until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ground oats, protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan with a tight-fitting lid. A 25 cm skillet or pan works well for this recipe.
Step 7
Heat the skillet or pan over low heat. Once warm, pour the brownie batter into the skillet or pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Cover the skillet or pan with the lid, making sure it fits tightly to retain heat and moisture. Cook the brownies over low heat for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be patient and avoid lifting the lid frequently, as this will release heat and slow down the cooking process.
Step 9
Remove the skillet or pan from the heat and let the brownies cool completely in the pan with the lid on. This will help them firm up and set.
Step 10
Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and serve.
Step 11
Enjoy your healthier stovetop beetroot chocolate brownies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
