Chocolate Beet Muffins Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Beet Muffins Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lining a muffin tin with 12 cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then set it aside for now.

3. Step 3

   In a larger bowl, cream together sugar, softened butter, and the fragrant zest of a lemon until the mixture is smooth and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in the eggs and mashed banana, beating everything together until it’s beautifully combined.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to incorporate the dry ingredients.

5. Step 5

   Gradually mix in about one-third of the flour mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

6. Step 6

   Repeat this step with the remaining flour mixture in two more additions, mixing until your batter is smooth and inviting.

7. Step 7

   For a delightful twist, gently fold in finely chopped cooked beets and chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter for bursts of flavor in every bite.

8. Step 8

   Spoon the luscious batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.

9. Step 9

   Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean—this is the moment you’ve been waiting for! Once baked to perfection, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
