Beetroot and chocolate muffins

The children loved making these and enjoyed eating them ........

•120g self-raising flour (wholemeal is best)
•1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
•1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•1 small egg
•60g light muscovado sugar
•90ml semi-skimmed milk
•2 tablespoons sunflower oil
•75g finely grated, peeled cooked beetroot
•25g chocolate chips

Pre - heat oven gas mark 6 - 200c - 400f

Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa , baking powder and choc chips

Wisk the milk and beetroot together in a different bowl - show the kids how it changes colour !

Add the egg and oil to the flour mix , along with the beetroot mix
Stir it up up
Should be runny

Spoon the mix into 10 muffin cases

Leave to cook for 25 min

Enjoy

Thanks for that Angel although I must say it sounds disgusting!

Have put the ingredients on my shopping list.

Hmm, might try that.

We grow beetroot. Last year I made a beetroot cake, without the chocolate and it went down really well.
