Beetroot Challenge
Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of baking with our friends at Buddings. Looking through the pantry, we decided to make use of the bag of beetroots we had. The challenge was to somehow incorporate beetroots into baking. We eventually decided on a chocolate beetroot muffin recipe that turned out amazing. If you try this recipe at home, you don’t need to add chocolate chips for it to be amazing! We left out the chocolate chips since we ran out of them in our pantry.
Going through all the supplies we stumbled upon doughnut pans, so why not make them doughnut shaped?
This brought the excitement to another level. One of the bigger friends would explain to the parents and other teachers what we were making. She would say something like this:
“We’re making muffins! Muffins shaped like donuts! Made with beets! And we worked together as a team!”
Excitement grew when we decided that the doughnuts needed to be decorated with chocolate icing and sprinkles! The icing gave the doughnuts the right amount of sweetness since the doughnut itself was a bit on the conservative side of sweetness.
The donuts were a big hit with everyone at the daycare and with the families that came for orientation day. Thank you to everyone who was a part of it, especially the ones who helped finish them!
Join us on Saturdays at Buddings for more baking surprises!
