Hi!!
I know another interesting recipe for browines :-)

Here it is:
Ingredients:
400 grams of cooked beetroot
200 gr of organic rice flour
120 gr of brown sugar
50 gr of unsweetened organic cocoa
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
120 gr of organic soya milk
baking powder
Drain the beets and puree them; if necessary, add some of the milk indicated.
In a bowl, mix rice flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder; add the beetroot cream, oil and the remaining milk; add a little more if necessary.
Line a cake pan (33 x 20cm) – disposable aluminium is the best choice – with baking paper, slightly moistened and squeezed. Pour in the dough. Flatten with a spatula and cook at 170 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
A slight crust should form on the surface, while the interior should be firm but moist.
Let the cake stand ten minutes in the oven, turned off with the door open, befor removing it from there.
Cut the cake in squares and store the brownies in an airtight container.

They're delicious!!!

Thanks for an interesting recipe Eleonor... I will try this one of these days... Brownies are one of my gavorites and I would love to try different versions. Thanks again.

Both these recipes sound great!

I wonder if baker's unsweetened chocolate could be used instead of cocoa. Has a much richer taste. And, perhaps whole wheat or other whole grain flour? I will have to experiment. I did make a vegan version of brownies, even adding baking powder, but they came out flat and hard. Were candy like, and tasty, but hard on the teeth..

Experimenting can be so much fun... Hope the recipe would be successful... Good luck snog! Share your experimental recipe with me after you have baked it....
