Baking with Beets

I received a bit over-zealous with the beets this 12 months in my backyard (confession, it is a repeat of final 12 months and the 12 months earlier than that). I make some form of a wholesome cake or muffin each week, so I figured why the heck not strive a beet cake. The outcome? Scrumptious! I made this Beet, Carrot & Apple Cake, however you possibly can simply make these into muffins by adjusting the bake time to round 20 minutes.

Shredded carrot, apple and beets work AMAZINGLY collectively on this recipe. If you need some extra inspiration, I really like my traditional Carrot Cake recipe, or give this moist Okanagan Apple Cake a whirl.

I really like sneaking wholesome veggies into tasty treats! Beets provide up antioxidents and anti inflammatory properties. Carrots are an amazing supply of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants, and apples are filled with nutritional vitamins and fiber. Which makes each chew style that a lot better!

If you happen to’re searching for different methods to sneak fruits and veggies into your baking I like to recommend my Sneaky Mommy Muffins, Double Chocolate Omega 3 Zucchini Bread, or for a savoury possibility, these Veggie Muffins.
