Ingredients

1 cup of all-purpose flour

1cup of whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup of Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips

2/3 cup of Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips

1 t. of baking soda

1 cup beet puree*

1/2 t. of salt

2 t. of baking powder

1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts

1/4 cup of butter

3/4 cup of packed brown sugar

1 t. vanilla extract

2 eggs, (lightly beaten)

2/3 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Now grease up a 12-cup muffin tin or you can line it with paper cups instead. Set this aside for now.

In a large sized bowl, whisk up the wheat-flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed. Stir in the half cup chocolate and nuts; set this aside.

In a small saucepan, melt the other (2/3 cup) chocolate chips and butter over super low heat. Stir this to combine and set aside to let cool until it is lukewarm.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, beet puree, vanilla, buttermilk and the melted chocolate.

Pour the chocolate mixture into your dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do NOT over mix!!!

Then immediately spoon the batter into the 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups. The batter should entirely fill the wells.

Place muffin pan in a preheated 375 F oven. Bake for around 18-20 minutes.

You can tell the muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. I beg you, do not over-bake these!

Finally cool muffins for about 10 minutes in the pan then remove to a wire rack to cool entirely.

I think this one will be my next sweet tooth binge
I also love beets and have never used them this way and am dying to test this out

This sounds interesting and can't wait to try it. I love things that are not too sweet, but have depth of flavor that is difficult to describe-- I will try this without nuts to see what the mouthfeel is.
