1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin papers.

In a separate bowl combine banana, oil, maple syrup and eggs. Stir until smooth.

Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just mixed, then stir in beets. Scoop 1/3-cup portions of batter into muffin tins, and bake for 18–20 minutes.
