If you’re craving a banana bread recipe that is just a bit extra, this beet-banana nut bread is for you. This spin on banana bread is moist, nutty, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and packed with vibrant color, without any food coloring.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Rolled oats Certified Gluten Free
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup Monkfruit sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp grated beets (alternatively, roasted and pureed beets can be used instead)
- 2 overly ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment.
- Using a microplane grater, grate the beets.
- Add the oats to a blender and blend until they are a flour-like consistency. Then, add in the other dry ingredients (cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and sweetener) to the blender along with the wet ingredients (eggs, grated beets, bananas, pure vanilla extract). Blend all the ingredients until smooth.
- After the beet banana bread batter is well blended, use a spatula and stir in the walnuts.
- Then, using the same spatula, scrape out the batter into a parchment-lined loaf pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely, then slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
If using pureed beets...
Rinse the beetroot well. Then wrap the beets in aluminum foil. Place them in an oven that has been preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Let them bake for 45-55 minutes or until tender when squeezed (with an oven mitt on). Let cool until easy to handle. Then, unwrap the beetroot, peel off the skin, and toss the beet into a blender or food processor. Blend (or process) until smooth and use 1/3 cup in this recipe instead of the grated beets.Would You Like to Save This?
