A delicious quick bread made with beetroot, walnuts, raisins and freshly milled red wheat sweetened with maple syrup. The pureed beetroot gives this loaf a unique flavor and makes it extremely moist. Make the most of beetroot season and bake this delicious beet walnut bread!

  2. Warm the ghee in a medium size saucepan on very low heat. Add the maple syrup and milk chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in the pureed beetroots, eggs and vanilla extract. Sift in cocoa powder, red wheat flour, ground walnuts and baking powder. Stir to combine.

  7. 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.

  9. @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.
