Prep Time: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1 12 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 12 cups beets grated, raw

  1. In a small bowl or mixing cup, beat ground flax seeds and 3 TBS of water together until foamy. Let rest 5-10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cinnamon.
  4. Stir in sugar.
  5. Beat oil, vinegar, and vanilla into flax mixture.
  6. Mix wet stuff into dry stuff.
  7. Add beets and nuts to bowl. Stir until just mixed. (Do not over stir!)
  8. The batter will probably be a little dry. Add water in small increments, as needed.
  9. Spoon batter into a lightly oiled loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes.
  10. Cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.

This recipe was inspired by the zucchini bread recipe found in How It All Vegan, one of my favorite cookbooks. It's a good book to have on your shelf, whether you simple wish to follow a recipe or want a solid foundation on which to build a vegan dish with your creative accent.
