Everyone loves a little color in their food, especially a beautiful pink that’s jam packed with nutrition! These Banana Beet Bakes are so good. Light, fluffy, and don’t leave much of a mess in the car when you’re having breakfast there like I have been all weekend. With just half a cup sugar in the entire batch, I’m happy when the kids reach for seconds. Happy baking!
Directions
0/0 steps made- First, and this is an important first step. You need 1-2 raw beets. When I make this I usually buy about 10 and roast them, then make all the beet recipes I can find. And I always add beet puree to our morning smoothies. That being said, you’ll roast them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 1.5 hours. Allow to cool. Peel and puree.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together egg, oil and sugar. Add the vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients, starting with the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Slowly add the milk. Mix until well incorporated. Batter should be thick.
- Lastly, fold in the beets.
- Grease your baking pan. Fill the molds 3/4 full. Once that’s done, slice a banana and place the pcs on top of the raw batter before putting into the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool and enjoy!
