Step by Step Method
Step 1
Measure out raspberries and leave on counter. Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper cups or spray with oil.

Stir flour with cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and set aside.

Puree beets in a blender or food processor.
Step 4
Beat sugar with oil in a medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer, until combined, 2 minutes. Beat in egg, then beets and vanilla.
Step 5
Gradually beat in one-third of flour mixture just until blended, then half of buttermilk. Repeat additions, ending with flour mixture. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
