Recipe type: Confection
Serves: 1 small loaf
Ingredients
1 cup brown rice flour
¼ cup almond meal (for texture, but you can skip it and just add more brown rice flour)
1 scant cup of rolled oats
½ tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup coconut sugar (taste the final batter and add more sugar if desired)
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 medium ripe bananas
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp melted vegan butter (I like Earth Balance Coconut Spread)
¼ cup roasted golden beet, pureed (optional)
½ cup non-dairy milk (I use cashew or soy milk for baking)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together brown rice flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and rolled oats.
In a separate medium sized bowl, mash up the bananas with a fork. Add the pureed beet, non-dairy milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar. Stir well.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or vegan butter/oil. Pour the batter in and smooth out. Bake for about an hour or until the edges start to brown. Let cool. Store leftovers in the fridge.
