  • 1 (425grams) can sliced beets
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

For the Cupcakes
1 Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C. Line 48 mini muffin tins with paper liners.
2 In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients. Whisk to remove any lumps.
3 Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a Lazy Man’s double boiler over medium heat (place a small saucepan in a frying pan with an inch of water). Stir often, until the chocolate and coconut oil is melted.
4 Drain the beets and place them in a food processor. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla, yogurt, and almond milk. Pulse until smooth.
5 In a medium bowl whisk the eggs.
6 Add the beet mixture and the eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat until fully combined, about 2 minutes.
7 Fill each muffin tin to the top. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven.
8 Beat the frosting ingredients together until fluffy – about 4 minutes. Pipe the frosting into the tops of the cooled cupcakes.

Enjoy!
