Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium raw beetroot
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup cacao powder
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the beetroot, then grate them using a box grater or food processor.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat and remove from heat.
Add the grated beetroot, honey, and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil. Stir well to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together until slightly frothy.
Add the wet beetroot mixture to the eggs and mix until fully integrated.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until no dry pockets remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let the slice cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the slice to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy your Paleo Beetroot Slice as a tasty snack or wholesome dessert.
