BEETROOT BROWNIES WITH CANDIED BEETROOT LEAVES

Brownies de Beterraba com Folhas Doces de Beterraba

There is a magic in these BEETROOT AND BLACK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES that is difficult to explain, perhaps a combination of several aspects that I like so much, texture, flavor and nature of the ingredients. For a healthier version and able to eat as a daily snack , no added fat, wholegrain, tastes like chocolate, with a soft and moist dough. Even for those who do not like beetroots, it is very approved. These great little pleasures are worth living, and if they also contribute to a healthier life, why not try it?
