Beetroot loaf with ginger and walnuts is a moist, sweet, and nutritious treat that combines vibrant beetroot, warm spices, and crunchy walnuts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200g) cooked and grated beetroot (well drained)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook and grate your beetroot, ensuring it is well drained.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Fold in the grated beetroot and chopped walnuts gently.
  6. Pour the batter into a prepared 9×5-inch loaf pan and smooth the surface.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm beetroots for the best flavor.
  • Store leftover loaf wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • For vegan, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds and use plant-based butter.
