If you’re a juicer like me, don’t throw out that pulp. Freeze it in 1 cup portions. Use sandwich bags or margarine cups to store it in your freezer until you need it.
Today I made Carrot Juice and Beet Juice to rebuild my immune system. I made Doggie Treats from the carrot pulp and Red Velvet Muffins from the Beet Pulp. (I juice an apple with the beet for added sweetness). Here are the recipes:
Red Velvet Muffins
1/4 cup butter (or margarine) melted
2 eggs
1 cup beet pulp
1 -1/4 cups sugar (or 2/3 cup Stevia)
1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all ingredients and pour into 12 muffin cups. Bake at 350 about 18 minutes. Done when muffin springs back to touch.
*Note – for carrot muffins – omit cocoa and add carrot pulp in lieu of beet pulp. Add 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
