Beet Cupcakes: A Unique Recipe with Avocado Frosting

Get ready to dazzle your guests with these stunning Vegan Beet Cupcakes with Avocado Crema Frosting. This recipe turns the traditional sweet treat on its head with a savory twist that’s both eye-catching and delicious. Think moist, tender cupcakes made from vibrant beet and protein-packed chickpeas with a hint of garlic and cumin and topped with a light and creamy avocado frosting that adds a refreshing flavor. Not only do these vegan beet cupcakes taste delicious, but they are also packed with nutrients to keep you feeling great. It’s a unique, healthy, and utterly satisfying way to enjoy beets that will surprise even the most skeptical at the table. 

For this recipe, you’ll need a cooked beet. For the best flavor, I highly recommend roasting beets yourself. You can cook and cool the beet in advance (even a day or two ahead). But feel free to use pre-cooked store-bought beets if that’s easier for you.

To make the Vegan Beet Cupcakes with Avocado Crema Frosting, you will need the following ingredients:
