<p>Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. In large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In food processor or blender, purée beets, coconut milk and vanilla until smooth; set aside.</p>

Step 2

With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture in 3 parts and beet mixture in 2 parts, starting and ending with flour mixture, scraping down bowl as needed. Fold in crushed cookies.</p>
