Beetroot red velvet muffins with lime cream cheese icing.William MeppemThese gluten-free red velvet muffins are moist and delicious. The beetroot adds a pink hue and plenty of natural,earthy sweetness,which I find so pleasing with the chocolate flavour and sour zing of the dried barberries. Lime-scented cream cheese icing and crunchy pecans complete the picture. If you like,skip roasting the beetroots and buy them pre-cooked in vacuum packs;I wouldn't use tinned beetroot,though.
