Beetroot Muffins are the simplest creation of mine and I really admire the natural pink color of these beets. Peeling, Chopping , blending them makes my hand full of pink shade and so does my kitchen cloth as I am to messy when I work in Kitchen.
Why Beets?
Well, my husband seems to be bored from chocolates and my daughter is loving the pink color of beets and it just occurred to me why not try beet desserts. Around the same time, my daughter had an assignment from school to make some dish with parents' help. Now that was quite a challenging one. A mother who is a home chef and a blogger means I had to come up with an interesting idea.
See ...Lot of responsibility on my shoulders!!
I always take inputs from my daughter specially when it comes to her own tasks. I would not ask her to draw/ paint or write. I give her some space and let her take the lead. Over years, I noticed that this has inculcated in her a sense of ownership and she feels great that her inputs are considered. This makes her independent and confident too.
When I asked her what she really wants to cook with me, her instant response was muffins.
That helped me put a creative hat and I thought why not add her favourite pink color to them.
Recipe Insights
I had beets lying in my refrigerator and all I did was boil them for 2 whistles. Cool and blend in a paste.
Rest is easy peasy. We mix butter and sugar very well and give a good mix of beetroot puree and APF (Maida) with baking soda and baking powder and transfer it to the paper cups. I baked them in my old OTG for around 10 min. They came out really well.
Why dont you give them a try and tell me how it turned out?
