By Gaia Greenthumb

Published: 18 Mar 2025

So, there I was, experimenting in the kitchen (again!), with a basket of gorgeous, homegrown blueberries and a bag of earthy beetroots. I had this crazy ideaā€”a fusion of sweet and earthy, vibrant purple blondies. And guess what? It worked! Prepare for a flavor explosion, friends. This recipe is the perfect blend of sweet and earthy, and the vibrant color is just stunning. It's almost too pretty to eat (almost!).

I must admit, I was a little skeptical myself at first. Beetroot in blondies? It sounded a bit odd, even to me. But trust me, the subtle earthy sweetness of the beetroot perfectly complements the juicy tartness of the blueberries. This recipe isn't just a dessert; itā€™s an experience. Itā€™s a conversation starter, a mood booster, a reminder that sometimes the most unexpected combinations are the most rewarding.

šŸ½ Ingredients

šŸ“– Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). This is crucial for even bakingā€”don't skip this step!
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Parchment paper is your friend here! Trust me.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked beetroot until it's mostly smooth. A few small chunks are fine; it adds texture!
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures everything is evenly distributed.
  5. In a third bowl (I know, three bowlsā€”it's worth it!), cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You want that airy texture for perfectly moist blondies!
  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Vanilla is key here!
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix!
  8. Stir in the mashed beetroot and blueberries. Gentle is best to avoid crushing all the berries.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. This is important to get consistent baking.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaked blondies are sad blondies.
  11. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This prevents them from crumbling. Patience, young padawan!
  12. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy! Pair with a glass of cold milk or your favourite beverage. Nom nom!

šŸ“ Notes

  • Make sure your beetroot is fully cooked before mashing. You can boil, roast, or microwave it.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown butter. Just be careful not to burn it!
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. Add more or less sugar as needed.
  • If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen will work too. Just make sure they're completely thawed and drained before adding them to the batter. Don't add extra water!
