Ingredients
- 2 medium beetroots
- 400 grams (canned, drained and rinsed) chickpeas
- 60 grams protein powder (plant-based or whey)
- 50 grams almond flour
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 50 grams (melted) coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x9 inch baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
Peel and grate the beetroots. Set aside.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas and blend until smooth.
Step 4
Add the grated beetroots, protein powder, almond flour, rolled oats, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the processed chickpeas. Blend until you obtain a smooth and uniform mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the tray and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then lift the slice using the baking paper and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8
Once cool, cut into 12 even slices and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
