The South Arm Multicultural Community Kitchen made some muffins with beets too.
The beets gave this Chocolate Beet Muffin a reddish hue.

Instructions
 Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
Peel and cut roasted beets into chunks. Puree in a food processor. Alternatively, grate the cooked beets. Set aside. |
 In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. |
 In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. |
 In a large bowl using a hand mixer on medium speed, cream together the sugars, butter and oil.
Using the hand mixer on low speed, beat in the egg mixture. |
 Slowly fold in the flour mixture.
Using a spatula, mix in the grated beets and chocolate chips. |
 Grease and flour a muffin pan. Evenly divide the batter into 12 muffins cups.
Each cup should be about 3/4 full. |
 Bake in the 350F pre-heated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. |
