Sunday meal prep included an experimental gluten free beet brownie! Here is the recipe! 2 large beets, chopped (1/2 cup pureed) 4 oz quality dark chocolate* (I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao baking bar) 1/4 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup raw honey 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa) 3 TBS coconut flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp pink salt (or sea salt) 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed) INSTRUCTIONS In a small sauce pan, melt the 4oz of chocolate with coconut oil over low heat, stirring continuously until chocolate and coconut oil has melted together. Add in honey and stir until well combined. Remove from heat, allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8×8, or 9×9, pan with parchment paper. Set aside. Add chopped beets to bowl of small food processor and process until pureed. If having a hard time processing, add 1 TBS water. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine cacao powder, coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk everything together until no clumps remain. Set aside. In a large bowl, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Add your cooled chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Next add your beet puree and whisk until combined. Add cacao mixture to large bowl of wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in dry ingredients until combined. Add in chocolate chips and gently combine. Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. A few crumbs are okay. Allow brownies to cool in pan for 20 minutes before cutting into 16 squares.
It’s that kind of day at Levels! Get in here and workout!
Heading home the other day I came to New Haven on the other side of the intersection Tyler was in his van looking half awake. I figured he was heading to work 3 rd shift. I thought about that the whole way home that many of these guys especially all the Pepperidge farm people come to the gym after they have been up all night . It was just a thought but it made me feel good that they choose to come up here when it would be so easy to go home. They might all kill me for posting this really it’s pretty awesome!
You just never know what workout you will be doing around here 🌳!
