Ingredients
For the muffins:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg
- ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 cup beetroot freshly grated
- 1 tbsp ginger freshly grated root
For the maple glaze:
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
For the muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F.
- With an electric mixer, whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract until doubled in size. Then slowly pour in the cooled melted butter.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger and cinnamon.
- Fold the flour mix into the egg mixture. Don’t over mix. Lastly, add the grated beetroot and ginger, mixing just enough to fully incorporate.
- Line a cupcake pan with your choice of cupcake liners or butter and flour each mold. Then, using an ice cream scoop, place 1 scoop of batter in each one.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. When baked, remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the maple glaze:
- In a small saucepan, put the maple syrup, heavy cream, and brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil and let simmer on a medium-low for about 10 minutes, mixing every now and then to avoid sticking to the bottom.
- If you have a kitchen thermometer, the temperature should reach around 110° C/230° F. Without one, it's done when it's become the thickness of sour cream.
- Let cool slightly and then drizzle generously over the muffins. Sprinkle with some chopped walnuts.
Notes
- Tip: You could add about ½ cup chopped walnuts or pistachios to the batter for extra flavor
