Beet and Walnut Muffins

Directions

• Step 1
  In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. In another medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and oil.
• Step 2
  In another medium bowl, combine beets, walnuts, and the remaining flour. Toss to combine the ingredients, and to coat the beets and walnuts in flour.
• Step 3
  Preheat the oven to 375°F. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Stir in the walnuts and beets. Don’t over-mix the batter or the muffins will be tough.
• Step 4
  Line a 12-muffin tin with paper cups and divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups. Bake on the middle rack 15–20 minutes. Stick a toothpick into a muffin; if the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
• Step 5
  Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool before removing them from the pan and serving.
