These earthy beetroot muffins take just 20 minutes to prepare and have a lovely pink sponge.

Our beetroot muffins are not just made with sharp beetroot, they're also packed with carrots too making them extra moist. The hint of cinnamon and ginger pairs perfectly with the veggies in these muffins. This recipe swaps butter for sunflower oil to make these muffins soft and spongey.

150g caster sugar
1tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
Line a muffin tray with 12 cases.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, caster sugar, cinnamon and ginger.
In a separate bowl mix the milk, eggs, oil and grated beetroot and carrot until well combined.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just combined.
Divide the mixture between the 12 cases.
Bake for 20 mins or until well risen and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
