You can actually buy dairy-free brownie mixes at almost any grocery store. Duncan Hines Chewy or Double Fudge Brownie Mixes are made without dairy, and we actually have a list of Pillsbury dairy-free brownie mixes. If you prefer organic, look for brands like Madhava (2 boxes may be needed, or you can half the recipe).

For gluten-free dairy-free fudgy beet brownies, King Arthur Gluten Free, Namaste Foods, or Bob’s Red Mill brownie mix are good options.

Recipe type: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Serves: 24 brownies

Ingredients

• 1 (15- to 16-ounce) jar cooked beets (such as Aunt Nellie’s Harvard Beets), not drained
• 1 box dairy-free dark chocolate brownie mix (for 13-by-9-inch pan)*
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup oil
• 1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
• Powdered confectioners’ sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan.
2. Place the beets in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat or whisk together the brownie mix, eggs, oil and pureed beets. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake as directed on package, but begin checking for doneness at the shortest recommended baking time.
5. Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool.
6. Serve slices lightly dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.

Notes

*Package sizes may vary according to brand. This is usually an 18-ounce box. If your package makes an 8x8-inch pan of brownies, then half the remaining ingredients (1/2 jar beets, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons oil, ½ cup chocolate chips).

Chipotle Beet Brownies Option: Stir ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder into the batter.
