Who would have thought beets and beans could make such a delicious brownie? This gluten, dairy and nut free brownie is a great addition to the lunchbox, a satisfying snack or delicious dessert. These beetroot brownies are packed with quality ingredients, the addition of beets and beans add valuable nutrients that are not usually present in the humble brownie.

Beetroots are crammed with an abundance of nutrients, suchs as fibre, folate and vitamin C to name a few. Beets can also help lower blood pressure and support athletic performance. Cannellini beans add protein and fibre to the brownies and may help to control blood sugar levels. Needless to say, this is not your average brownie.
