1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 ripe organic bananas sugar
1/2 cup organic unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons ground flax seed soaked in 6 Tablespoons of purified water

Coat 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
Purée beets in food processor until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. You should have 1 cup.
Set aside. Whisk together oil, applesauce,  and banana in bowl until smooth. Add vanilla, then whisk in soaked ground flax seed.
Stir in beets.  Whisk together flour and cocoa powder in separate bowl. Fold flour mixture into beet mixture until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 20 – 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out almost clean.
Cool, then cut into squares.

Note:

The natural sweetness from the banana and thick texture of beets makes these brownies moist, healthy and delicious alternative to other
