Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
In another large bowl, add brown sugar, applesauce, avocado oil, eggs, grated beets, and grated carrots. Mix together to combine.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips or any other add-ins, if using.
Divide batter among the prepared muffin tin and bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

If using another brand of gluten free all purpose flour, make sure that it contains xanthan gum.
To replace eggs with flax eggs, mix 2 tbsp of flaxseed meal with 5 tbsp of water. Let this rest for 5 minutes to thicken, then add to the recipe.
You can use raw beets and carrots in this recipe. I recommend using golden beets for a milder and sweeter flavor than red beets, but either will work just fine.
