I've been curious about putting beetroot into brownies and cakes for a while and finally plucked up the courage to give it a go. Knowing that Tom would go "yuck yuck yuck" at the thought of combining one of his favourite treats with root vegetables, I decided to keep it a secret until he'd tried them and knew he liked them! So, if the king of fussy eating likes these brownies, I can promise you will too!
