So you can see why it’s perfect timing to post this recipe now – there’s a hidden serve of beetroot in there 😉 well, ok. It’s not exactly hidden…the pink colour is a dead giveaway, I know. But it’s a vegetable! In your breakfast! Hiding underneath some chocolate sauce! By the way, that chocolate sauce – I highly, highly recommend it. It really adds a new dimension to the beetroot cake porridge. Sure, the porridge tastes nice (to me) without the sauce, but that sauce makes it so decadent and chocolatey <3
