Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 oz roasted beet
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  2. Blend the ingredients: Place the roasted beet, banana, eggs, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a blender. Process everything until you reach a smooth, uniform batter.
  3. Fill the muffin tin: Pour the blended batter evenly into the mini muffin cavities, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  4. Bake the muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Pop them out of the tin carefully, and enjoy your nutritious mini muffins.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • If you prefer regular-sized muffins, increase the baking time accordingly and check doneness with a toothpick.
  • Ground flaxseed helps bind the muffins and adds omega-3 fatty acids.
  • These muffins are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
