Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a muffin pan and line with paper cups.
Step 2
Combine dry ingredients into one bowl rice flour, corn meal, quinoa, turmeric, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle (or a whisk), whip the peanut butter and the jaggery together until fluffy. Drizzle the olive oil in a slow stream until completely incorporated. Add the eggs and stir to combine.
Step 4
Juice the carrots and beet. Add the carrot and beet pulp as well as their juices and the coconut milk and add to the wet ingredients.
Step 5
Slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring as you go. Scoop batter into a greased muffin tin lined with paper cups. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let the muffins rest for 10 to 15 minutes in the pan before removing.
130 grams rice flour
3 tablespoons cornmeal
85 grams quinoa raw
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
140 grams peanut butter
115 grams grated jaggery
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large eggs
170 grams coconut milk
285 grams carrots
20 grams beet (very small piece)

Notes & Variations

  • Don’t be intimidated by the use of grams. Scales add ease to baking. They are inexpensive and open a whole world of baking.
  • Some jaggery pieces may remain, resulting in a mixture that is not completely smooth. Use a stand-up mixer to get the peanut butter and jaggery mixture just right, if available.
  • Before baking, top with a favorite granola, sesame seeds, or nuts.
  • Replace peanut butter with another nut or seed butter.
