Description
This is my altered version of Karly Kallis’s recipe, which is divine.
Ingredients
- 1 small cooked beet (palm sized)
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1⁄4 cup grass-fed whey vanilla protein powder (if you are on dairy)
- 1 tablespoon natural almond or cashew butter or any other nut butter
- 1⁄4 cup almond milk
- 2–3 tablespoons honey (use of stevia is optional)
- Topping:
- 1/4 cup 70-80% dark chocolate or my homemade chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Clean and cut your beet into hunks.
- Steam (cook) on stove until somewhat soft.
- Set aside to cool.
- Mix 3/4 cup of coconut flour with 1/4 cup of protein powder in a separate bowl.
- Place the beet hunks into a food processor or blender and mix until processed, adding in the natural almond or cashew butter, almond milk and honey.
- Slowly add in the flour and protein powder mix until the mixture is blended.
- Pour mixture into a well-greased brownie or loaf pan.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to cool thoroughly.
- Melt a 1/4 cup of dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Pour over the mixture.
- Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes before consuming!
- Enjoy!
Notes
One could “almost” consider these bars Raw, all except the prep of the beets. I am sure there is a way to make these Raw if one is a strict Raw foodie. Basically slice beets thin, dehydrate the beets under 109F until warm and soft, then add to the food processor as in step #5 above.
