Grain Free Chocolate Beet Muffins Recipes

GRAIN-FREE CHOCOLATE BEET MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a 12-hole muffin tray with liners (or spray with cooking spray)
• Wash and chop a beet and pulse it in a food processor (or grate it). Measure out 1 cup-worth of grated beet and save the remaining grated beet for future uses (such as smoothies!).
• Add the 1 cup of grated beet and coconut milk to a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth. Add the maple syrup, cider vinegar, eggs, and vanilla extract and blend until combined.
• Add the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt (dry ingredients), and blend until combined.
• Fill the muffin holes most of the way up with muffin batter. Place on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until muffins test clean (mine took 24 minutes).
• Allow muffins to cool at least 20 minutes before digging in!

CHOCOLATE BEET MUFFINS (VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, OIL-FREE)

Steps:

• Prepare the beet puree by boiling whole beets until tender. Run under cold water until you can comfortably handle them, and then rub off the skins. Place the beets in your blender, and blend until smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed. You should end up with around 1 cup of beet puree.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line with muffin liners or grease 10 muffin pans and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and whisk until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and 1 cup (244g) beet puree and mix well. It will be a fairly dry mixture. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. Evenly scoop the batter into the 10 prepared muffin tins, and place in the preheated oven.
• Bake for around 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool fully, and enjoy!
