It sounds weird, I know; I was a little hesitant too and I was the one making it. I had originally intended to make a beet bread, with a taste and consistency similar to carrot cake, and then I had some coconut on hand and that got tossed it, then some other things happened, and viola, here it is the newest baked creation all it’s glory.
I took it to a tabling event at the local farmer’s market and the almost everyone commented on how moist it is. The other top comments were that “it’s perfectly lightly sweet” and “omg, there’s beets in there!” Do you know what’s also really cool about this recipe, besides being vegan, of course? It’s oil-free too! Enjoy :-D.

LOVE it! Quick breads are my favorite things to bake///there can never be enough crazy combos and this one sounds delicious!
Thanks Rebecca! Quick breads are my fav too though sometimes when I just throw things in, it doesn’t come out quite this good. This time was awesome though!
This looks and sounds insanely good! And the best thing is apart from the sugar, which I can purchase close to me, I have all of the ingredients in my kitchen. Ready to bake 🙂
Sweet! That’s the best, when all the ingredients are already there waiting for you to make something fantastic with them :-D. I’d love to hear if you made it.
Interesting! It’s not something that I would have tried, but it sounds (and looks!) good =)
Honestly, it’s not something I planned, it just kinda happened when I was feeling care-free in the kitchen. And lo & behold, it got rave reviews from everyone who tried it :-D. Success!
Omg! This bread looks so good! I will definitely have to give it a try. Your blog is definitely inspiring me to bake more <3 xo, sharon
