Tip
I made these to use up my boiled beetroots after making food colouring. They are a bit like a carrot cake and could be tweaked to include tinned pinapple, spice or alternate sweetners.
They go well with a cream cheese frosting - mix 50g butter, 100g cream cheese & 1 teaspoon natural food colouring 10 sec / speed 4. scrape & repeat. Add 150g icing sugar & mix speed 5 until smooth.
I've had mixed reviews on these so if youre game I'll let you decide.. I just love the colour and think they are perfect for a kids party if you are trying to avoid additives.

Has anybody frozen them with success?
Kids loved them!
made these on the weekend (natural food colouring first, then cupcakes) and fed them to my VERY fussy almost 3 year old who gobbled up three in one sitting! Her friends enjoyed them too, took 24 to a friends lunch and cam back with less than half. Made almost 30 mini cupcakes and four normal size
I have been looking for a safe alternative to colourings in red velvet cupcakes. I just happen to have spare beetroot so I'm going to make these instead! Thanks!

If you do not have pre cooked beetroot you can chop the beetroot (couple sec speed 6-7) then add the oil & cook 3 min / 50 deg / sp 1 . Then purée, cool bowl in fridge until it gets down to 37 deg & then add all other ingredients & mix.
today I had only 100g beetroot so I made up the rest with tinned pineapple & baked pumpkin - chop, cook & purée with the beetroot as above.
you can substitute 100g brown sugar.
add tablespoon pure vanilla extract for sweetening & 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
you can also use plain or spelt SR Flour.
