Hi guys
Today I have a treat for with this Beetroot and Hazelnut Chocolate Brownie easy plant-based dessert recipe.
I’m a lover of all things cakey – who isn’t, right?
In fact, my main concern with focusing on a more plant-based lifestyle was that I wasn’t going to be able to enjoy the occasional (daily) cake, brownie or muffin.
I needn’t have worried!
It turns out almost anything can be made with plant-based ingredients, including these delicious chocolate brownies.
They’re not too sweet so go down very easily (I’ve eaten two while writing this post) and are easy to make using a few ingredients.
Just to make these even more tempting I made them with my four-year-old without losing the will to live and he loved them – point to me for sneaking some veggies in there!
What is the nutritional info?
Eeek!
Not great on the calories! It’s the oil.
As I said above, I’m in the process of developing a brownie recipe without the oil
