Chocolate Beetroot Cupcakes recipe - cupcakes on plates with cups of tea and coffee on blue background

Ingredients

75g (3oz) White's Oatbran Fine Cut
25g (1oz) White's Apple, Cranberry & Raspberry Granola
75g (3oz) cocoa powder
100g (31/2oz) plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
250g (9oz) cooked, peeled beetroot in natural juices, drained
3 large eggs
200ml (7fl oz.) sunflower oil
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
250g (9oz) caster sugar
125g (41/2oz) white chocolate
4 tbsp. cream cheese

Method

Method
1.    Preheat the oven to 180*C/fan oven 160*C/Gas mark 4. Line 12 holes in a muffin tin with paper cases.
2.    Sift the cocoa powder and flour into a large bowl and stir in the oat bran and baking powder. Place the beetroot, eggs, sunflower oil and vanilla bean paste into a food processor and whizz until smooth. Stir into the flour mixture with the caster sugar and beat until well combined. Divide between the paper cases and bake for 25-30 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
3.    Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a simmering pan of water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.  Beat in the cream cheese until thick and glossy. Divide between the cupcakes and spread evenly. Sprinkle over the granola to serve.

Cooks tip

Look out for ready cooked beetroot in the fresh fruit and vegetable aisles of the supermarket - make sure you choose beetroot in natural juices not dipped in vinegar.

Yum yum! I made chocolate beetroot muffins for my wedding, and everyone thought I was crazy, but you couldn't taste the beetroot at all. Just made it less dry.

Ooo, never cooked with beetroot in a sweet dish before. I've done courgette cakes and carrot cakes, but will definitely be giving this a go

My friend puts beetroot in so much of her baking - it adds a really nice texture! Its also a good way of getting kids to eat veggies!

You would have thought this would taste a bit odd but the colours and flavours actually look really nice! As others have said it's a clever way to get them to eat their veg!
