Tip
It is quicker to toast the coconut in a skillet on the stove, stirring constantly and I find I get better results, ie darker toasting. But of course, that's one more thing to wash up. You decide!
Cooked beetroot is now commonly available in supermarkets in airtight plastic wrap, just ensure it doesn't include vinegar.
There is wide dispute about whether brownies should be more cake like or more fudge like. This recipe leans to the cake side. If you like a more fudgy type, leave out the baking powder.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
