These slimming friendly Chocolate Beetroot Muffins look super cute and they’re so tasty that no one will ever guess that they’re low in calories and Points.

You wouldn’t guess it, but our Chocolate Beetroot Muffins are made with Scan Bran!  If you’ve never heard of Scan Bran, then it’s a Scandinavian crisp bread that’s kind of like a thicker, more tasteless Ryvita…  Some people love it, some people hate it, but in our opinion, the only good way to use it is in chocolate cake!

Don’t be put off by the beetroot in this recipe as it makes the cake incredibly moist and you won’t even believe it’s there!  It goes without saying that you’ll need to be really careful of the beetroot juice though – there’s nothing worse than stained hands or clothes!

What diets are these Chocolate Beetroot Muffins suitable for?
