Sneaky Beet Brownies
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Love Beets for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Tuesday calls for something sweet.
It calls for some SNEAKY BEET BROWNIES!
I call them sneaky beet brownies becuase you’d never actually know you could sneak a vegetable into an ooey-gooey batch of brownies. Plus, beets are loaded with potassium, which can help decrease the risk of CVD and help lower blood pressure, making this recipe a gold star for American Heart Month, which just so happens to be Februrary!
I am really excited to introduce you to a product called Love Beets. Love Beets specializes in all-natural freshley cooked and flavor-infused beets. All of Love Beets produts contain no artificial coloring or preservatives, are gluten free, and kosher! What I love about this product the beets come fully cooked and vacumed sealed. This makes life so much easier when all you want to do is puree and use it inside different recipes Definitely saves you the hassle of having to peel, steam, and clean up a big mess of pink beet juice.
Seriously how cute is their product packaging and branding? So cute you could win free beets for a year just by entering their Beet the Odds Sweepstakes on facebook (more info on this at the end of the post).

You read my secret. I pureed the beets to “sneak” them into my brownies. It was easier than ever to do. I cut the seal, popped of the beets into my magic bullet, and voila- you’ve got the most beautiful looking beet puree around!
Oh,my love for brownie batter.
Do I wish you weren’t made with raw eggs
I used gluten free all-purpose flour, but normal all purpose flour would work, too if you’re not gluten-sensative. I also used coconut-oil, but you coud sub canola oil or butter.
