Cocoa-Muffins-3

Cocoa Beet Muffins


  • Author: Courtney West
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x
Scale

Ingredients

  • 280 grams all-purpose gluten free baking flour (or all-purpose wheat flour)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom or ground cinnamon
  • 40 grams cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 350 grams beet puree*
  • 130 grams dark maple syrup
  • 130 grams coconut milk (or any milk you prefer)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and either grease a 12 cup muffin tin or line it with muffin papers.
  2. Add all of the dry ingredients to a large bowl then whisk them together. Add all of the wet ingredients to the bowl then slowly whisk the mixture until a thick batter forms.
  3. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups, then tap the pan firmly on your counter a few times to allow the batter to settle and work out any air bubbles.
  4. Bake the muffins for 15-17 minutes or until the tops puff up and spring back when touched. Cool muffins at least 15-20 minutes before eating.
  5. *To make the beet puree: peel the beets and chop them into similar sized wedges. Steam the beets until they are fork-tender, then put them in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
