Can't BEET These Brownies!

With a toddler who was introduced to CHOCOLATE by his grandmother and great grandmother, he demands it at least once a day.... with that said you can imagine how crafty I have become. 

One of my favorite recipes to incorporate health into chocolate is Beet Brownies. These brownies have 2 cups of beets. I have also added carrots in them (in previous batches). These brownies are more of a cake consistency then actual brownies, but delicious none the less! once cooled the beet flavor completely disappears!! 

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups of pureed beets
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Beat together eggs and sugar.
2. Add oil, beets, cocoa and pudding, mix well.
3. Blend in vanilla, flour, soda and salt.
