Ingredients
- 150g grated fresh beetroot
- 2 eggs (whisked)
- 1/2 cup rice bran oil

- 3/4c sugar
- 1/3 cup Dutch cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Optional: 2 tsp hemp seed protein powder
Allergies: dairy free*, soy free, nut free.
Directions
- Put oven on to pre-heat to 180’C / 375’F. Grease your muffin tray or springform mini-tins.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and sugar into a bowl. Add hemp seed protein powder (if using). Whisk.
