Mouth-watering soft gooey fudgy Beetroot Chocolate Brownies packed with bitter cacao, creamy almonds and millet.
Bite into something schmaltzy. And, relax.
This dish will burst your belief that vegan food could be super yummy.
Make this:
- When you’ve got Uncle Joe over for super and great childhood memories resurface as you celebrate good times together
- When the kiddies have come back from vigorous activity and a treat that’ll have them smiling at your cheek to cheek is what’s needed
- When it’s the Solstice you need to mark your longest day with fellow luminaries
Beetroot Chocolate Brownies were inspired when attending a farmer’s market in Marylebone and picking up a freshly harvested bunch of beetroot. The smell of baked cakes wafted through the air and the notion of making Beetroot Chocolate Brownies came about.
Brownies are a fudgy cakey chocolate baked confection.
Beetroot Chocolate Brownies are vegan and gluten-free.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.
Going strong since 2013.
