Recipe
-115g beetroot (I used vac pack kind for ease)
-150g dates, soaked
-2 Tbps oil
-150ml water/milk of choice
-22-25g coconut sugar (adjust depending on how sweet you want them)
-10g cacao powder and 20g melted dark chocolate (or sub 10g more powder)
-75g wholemeal flour (sub 25g for pea or hemp protein if you’d like a higher protein macro ratio)
-25g plain flour
Frosting
-50g almond butter
-9g coconut oil
-9g honey/maple
-2 Tbsp Beet juice or sub for water/milk
-berry powder for colour and flavour this is optional
Directions
-Soak the dates for 10mins then drain and blend with the beetroot and liquid until smooth
-Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir in the wet mix including the melted chocolate if using
-Stir well until combined and pre-heat the oven to 170c fan
-Pour the mix into a small/medium square tray and bake for 25-30min
-Leave to cool then make the frosting and smooth this over and leave to set, these firm up and become fudgy when left overnight which is how I like them best
