Ingredients
- Beets- are the star ingredients of this muffin recipe. I have boiled and blended the beets. Boiling beets may seem an additional step (though you may skip it), but it makes beets less bitter and also helped me create a smooth batter for muffins. If you choose to use raw beets, you may have to add more water/ milk and more sugar to balance off the bitter flavor. This recipe can also use any other fruit pulp or puree- mango, banana, or apple.
- All Purpose Flour- While APF works well for creating soft and airy muffins, you may use gf flours or wheat flours for healthy alternatives.
- Butter- I have used salted Amul Butter at room temperature. Swap it with vegan butter for vegan muffins. If you are using unsalted butter, add a dash of salt while mixing the dry ingredients.
- Milk- I have used low-fat dairy milk. You may swap it with vegan milk for making vegan recipe.
- Leavening agents-I have used baking soda as a leavening agent. You may use baking powder or both.
- Sugar- Normal white sugar works best. You may swap it with sugar-free substitutes for creating low-calorie muffins.
- Cardamom-The fragrant cardamom adds perfect aroma to these muffins. You may experiment with other spices like: ginger powder, cinnamon or vanilla essence.
How To Make Beets Muffins
Step 1 Gather the ingredients
Gather all the ingredients. In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar well. Add little milk, cardamom and mix well. Once sugar dissolves, add beet puree and give it a good mix.
Step 3 Add dry ingredients
In the wet mixture, gradually add all purpose flour and baking soda. Since we are not using eggs, it's recommended to sieve the flour for creating fluffy muffins.
Mix by fold method and don't over-mix.
Step 4 Bake It
Bake the pink beauties in oven or OTG. I have used an old OTG and baked them at 180 degrees C (pre heated for 10 min) for about 10 min. Do perform a clean tooth pick test.
Step 5 Serve It
Begin your day with healthy beetroot muffins and a cup of coffee!
