Red Velvet Chocolate Squares
- Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup chopped canned beets, drained
- 7 ounces (about 1 cup) canned red beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
- 3 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
- 3/4 cup agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons natural red food coloring
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Spray an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- 2. Combine the beets, beans, cocoa powder, egg substitute, and flour in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through.
- 3. Add the agave, butter, vanilla, almond extract, and food coloring. Process until all of the ingredients are combined, about 1 minute.
- 4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 28-30 minutes, turning the dish halfway through the baking time. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out with soft batter clinging to it.
- 5. Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Then put them in the fridge for at least 3 hours. When they're cold, cut them into 12 squares and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
