Recipe: Low Carb Brownie Bites (with secret vegetable ingredient)

It’s that time of year again. The time of year where you are surrounded by delicious chocolate. It may come in the form of candy. It may come in the form of a cupcake. Or it may come in the form of a BROWNIE BITE. Those delicious little ‘pop in your mouth’ yummies that someone always nabs last minute at the grocery store on their way to a party. Yet we know those brownie bites are filled with gluten, sugar, and have zero redeeming nutritional value.

Behold! A recipe for a low carb brownie bite that, thanks to it’s extra vegetable ingredient, is super moist, fudgy and has additional nutritional value.

I brought a bunch of these to a Zombie party this month and no one could taste the beet. All I got was exclaims on how moist, rich and fudgy these bad boys are. People who professed to hate beets still loved these.
