  • Prepare the Oven and Pan:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • Blend the Base Ingredients:
    • In a food processor, puree the kidney beans and beets until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the Batter:
    • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the puree. Stir by hand until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  • Bake the Brownies:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
  • Check for Doneness:
    • Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. A few moist crumbs or a bit of batter clinging to the toothpick is ideal. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • Cool and Chill:
    • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  • Cut and Serve:
    • Slice the brownies into squares, or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes like hearts. Enjoy your healthy, vegan red velvet treat!
