Courgette & Beetroot Brownies
- RECIPE MAKES: 16-20 portions
- PREP TIME: 15 minutes
- COOK TIME: 25 minutes
Preheat the oven to 200°c/180°c fan/ gas mark 5.
In a blender, blitz the courgette and beetroot until smooth, set aside.
Using an electric whisk, cream the butter, caster sugar and vanilla bean paste in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add in the Mevalia Bread Mix, egg replacer, melted Vitabite, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and vegetable puree. Beat well with a wooden spoon until a smooth batter is formed.
Line and grease a 28cm x 19cm brownie tin with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until risen and firm to the touch.
To prepare the frosting, gently heat the coconut oil and Vitabite in a small saucepan until fully melted.
Stir in the icing sugar, vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a small whisk to remove any lumps.
When the brownies have cooled, pour the frosting over the top and rock the tin back and forth to evenly cover.
Leave to harden in the fridge. Once set, cut into 16-20 pieces. Store in an airtight container and use within one week.
