Beetroot Brownies
Earthy beetroot with sweet potatoes make for a great alternative to a classic brownie whilst adding some much needed fibre to help curve the sugar spikes. Deliciously indulgent whilst not being too sweet, these are the perfect after lunch treat or autumnal picnic pudding.
RecipesMakes 12 brownies.
