Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Line a muffin tray with paper cases.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and muscovado sugar together for 10 minutes until the batter is light and fluffy and has expanded in volume. Whisk in the finely grated beetroot.
- Sift over the flour, cocoa and baking powder, then carefully fold into the mixture. Fold in the yogurt, vanilla paste and chopped chocolate.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cases until they are three-quarters full, then bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the tin. When they’re cool enough to touch, remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
