For a richer chocolate flavor, add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. If you don't have spelt flour, you can substitute with whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour. These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. To freeze, wrap individual muffins tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lightly coating it with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, dark cocoa powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the shredded beets, applesauce, oil, honey, and egg. Whisk until smooth. (3 minutes)
04
StepGently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. (2 minutes)
05
StepSpoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (18-20 minutes)
07
StepRemove the muffins from the tin immediately and let them cool on a wire rack. This prevents them from becoming soggy. (5 minutes)
