- 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup grated cooked beets, about 1 large peeled beet
- 1/4 cup melted virgin coconut oil
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbls apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbls vanilla
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray some coconut oil on the silicon cupcake heart mold pan.
In a medium-size bowl mix all the dry ingredients (the first 6). In a separate bowl place the remaining 6 ingredients and mix well, being careful not to overmix.
Immediately spoon batter into heart-shaped cupcake molds (about 3/4 full) and place into oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing from mold pan.
Eat plain or top with some coconut whipped cream.
