- Notes:
- You can use wheat flour as a healthy option.
- If you feel like increasing the quantity of cocoa powder please feel free to do so.
- I wanted bright red color so I have used only 1 tbsp.
- You can adjust the quantity of beetroot puree as well depending on the color you want.
- I wanted to sneak in as much as possible as I made these for my kids and it was a nice way to feed them beetroot.
- Please follow your instincts while baking and every Oven has different settings.
- So please check after 15 minutes if your muffins are done or not.
- You can do this by inserting a toothpick.
- If it comes out clean then your muffins are baked properly.
