Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup fresh cooked beet puree boiled or roasted
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil solid
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat all purpose flour or you could do all white flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder do not use Dutch processed
  • 2/3 cup icing sugar for rolling

Instructions

  • Mix together the beet puree and coconut oil until combined, breaking up any clumps in the coconut oil. Add sugar, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
  • In another bowl, sift together salt, flours, baking powder, and cocoa powder until combined. Add to the wet mixture in three parts, the first two parts mixing with a spatula (or by the mixer), the last part you may need to use your hands.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to roll.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Once chilled, roll into 1 inch balls (about 35-40 of them), roll generously in icing sugar (use lots and lots of sugar), and place on a lined baking sheet (silpat or parchment paper). The thicker the baking sheet, the better even heat diffusion.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and remove immediately from pan (carefully) and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
