Love this bread, Angie! It's all about those healthy walnuts, raisins and chocolate. A slice of it would go great with my coffee now. Thanks!
It looks and sounds delicious!
Angie, amazing how you come up with so many interesting and tasty looking recipes...i love the idea of beetroot and nuts...and of course cocoa powder, this will be perfect for breakfast or better anytime...thanks for the recipe...have a great week ahead!
aww Angie I love yours loaf and breads always look amazing and delicious !!
Angie, so many things going on in this bread and they all sound delicious!
How interesting! I've always wanted to make something with beets and cocoa. Does the red wheat contribute to the color? And then the raisins and walnuts - sure! But what's maple syrup doing in there? That makes it sound so intriguing.
love this red themed bake for autumn. The loaf looks really wholesome and rustic.
@Jeff Not really. The colour is basically just from beets. I also baked quick bread with just red wheat and the colour turned out very brownish.
Beautiful loaf and so tasty sounding too! Brilliant flavor combinations of beets + walnuts + milk chocolate + raisins!
The loaf is a medley of beautiful sweeet stuffs....love this one Angie
This bread looks beautiful and I love the big walnut pieces - just lovely!
that's a healthy and yummy looking cake.. Gotta try this :)
Wonderful looking recipe! I love baked things at this time of the year -- so comforting. This is perfect -- thanks.
You always find the most interesting of ingredients and then create such unique recipes Angie. I feel like I say this to you every dang week, but I mean, I can't lie!!!! Ha! It would be so awesome to see you create a GIGI APPROVED recipe one day!!! :D
I'm always in awe of your amazing baking, Angie! And this is such a beautiful loaf! :)
What a wonderful looking bread, Angie! I've yet to try baking with beets but this recipe is going on my list to try!
Another incredible recipe, just so creative. True beets would keep it moist, like pumpkin puree. And such a lovely color.
Angie, you have the most creative and wonderful recipes! The color on this loaf is beautiful!
Hmmm... if only I can get a piece or two for my afternoon tea. Looks yummy!
So wonderful! Looks so yummy! xo
Quick breads are definitely one of my favorites, because they are so easy AND delicious! And, this one looks heavenly, Angie! Perfect for snacking or as dessert with my cup of nightly tea! Cheers!
Between the beets and the walnuts this bread sounds fantastic! I'll take a slice please!
That's a lovely looking loaf Angie. I'm a huge fan of walnuts so this is right up my street! :-)
I love, love breads packed with nuts and fruits and this one is a winner!
love that you used ghee here, yummy!
The loaf looks so adorable, I would love to have a slice☺
Wow Angie this sounds wonderful! I bet the beetroot not only made the loaf moist but added a unique flavor to it. Did you love it? Would you make it again?
@Angie Schneider In a way, though, that's even cooler that it's all from the beets. I love the color.
What an amazing way to use beets this season, beautiful loaf Angie.

Love the beets and wheat berry flour you used in this recipe - so unique!
This sounds so delicious, beetroot and walnut are so good together!
This loaf looks fantastic!!!
un joli cake bien gourmand j'adore

Beetroot and chocolate - a combination that I've just recently been introduced to and feel in love. It's so moist and flavorful just like the look of your beetroot loaf. Beautiful load!
I always learn something new from you :). First time seeing ghee used in a cake.
It looks so deliciously moist. I often buy those vacuumed beets, use a couple for a recipe and always wonder what to do with the rest, except salad. This loaf would be a great way of using them.
Red wheat, red beetroot - what a nutrient-dense loaf!
This is so unique and original Angie! I bet the beetroot keeps it nice and moist. It's beautiful!
Angie, look delicious ths cake!
Once again, a recipe full of ingredients I would never buy at the store myself. Ha! I swear you need to go on IRON CHEF AMERICA because you would 1000% beat out all the iron chefs!
Ooh red wheat. You've done it again and wowed me with another ingredient I haven't come across before. Love it.
The bread looks super moist. Looks delicious.
What a wonderful fluffy bread!
Angie,
Such interesting ingredients especially the red wheat! This could be a healthy red velvet cake and the beetroot and chocolate must be amazing
Such a pretty loaf of bread, Angie! Would make a perfect breakfast treat for me with coffee!
This looks so decadent and delicious!
Oh, this is indeed a very healthy loaf!
