Notes
- Nutrition Facts are calculated per serving (1 mini muffin).
- This recipe makes 12 mini muffins. You can make regular-sized muffins by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time.
- Use cooked beets. Preferred cooking methods are steaming or roasting to preserve the color. If beets are cooked in water, it will add too much moisture to the recipe.
- Be sure to weight the beets or the muffins may not turn out with the best texture if too much or too little is added.
