Red Velvet Beet Banana Bread

Bread· Recipe Archive

Red Banana Bread
Red Banana Bread This banana bread is just one in a series of adaptations on my favorite bread. Healthy and delicious this bread is a beautiful addition to any table. #banana #bread

Red Velvet Banana Bread is Weight Watchers!

As I am on a bread kick this week and everyone knows how much I like Red Velvet.

I didn’t tell my family this was weight watchers.

I didn’t even tell them it was made with beets.

They couldn’t believe the truth when I told them.

My family agreed this Red Velvet Beet Banana Bread was a keeper. They even asked me to make it again.

After I saw how well received the bread was I decided to put it on my list next time I have brown bananas.

I was afraid of how the color would turn.I was happily surprised to see the bread was a deep red.

Next time I think I will use a regular loaf pan to make the proportions more equal.

I personally don’t like round loaves. But that is just me.

They are hard to keep the pieces strong enough to butter or add jam.

And they don’t fit in the toaster.

I ended up cutting the longest pieces in half and it worked out fine.

I believe my family would have devoured the bread no matter what shape it was in!

Gather the ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup Rice flour
  • 2 Tsp Baking powder
  • 2/3 Cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 3 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Beet puree
  • 2 Large Bananas Overly ripe, mashed
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Tbs Powdered sugar for dusting
  • 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon or nutmeg To taste

Make it:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. 
  • Add the beets and beat well
  • Add in the mashed bananas and vanilla
  • Mix in the rice flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg totaste
  • Pour the banana-beet mix into springform pan and bake for 30-35 minutes
  • Remove from pan. Let cool. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
  • Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Voila! You are ready to enjoy!

    Marilyn, I love banana bread! I’ve never thought of making one red velvet. I bet it is delicious! I have a fabulous banana bread recipe, but it is not mine. It’s one I actually got from another blogger that shared it on SYC a few years ago. I had one I always made before. It was yummy, but had a tendency to be a bit doughy in the middle. This one doesn’t. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

    hi there! I love your recipe and have tried it several times! It’s been delicious and super easy to make, but my bread keeps falling in the middle. Any tips for preventing this? I tried turning the heat down 10 degrees and baking for a little longer, which helped but it still fell a little bit. Thanks for the help!

      Overbeating — this is probably one of the most common reasons why battersink. I’m not sure what it is, but we all seem to have a natural tendency towards overbeating cake batter until it is smooth and creamy. But beating in too much air into the batter once the dry and wet ingredients are combined will only cause the batter sink.

      

Oven Temperature — Make sure you have preheated.
      Also, don’t be tempted to peek inside that oven for at least the first 80% of the suggested baking time. Remember that each time you open the oven door, the temperature inside can drop as many as 10 degrees. These tiny fluctuations in temperature can affect the even rising of the bread.

      Timing — Unless a recipe specifically calls for it, don’t let a finished batter sit for very long before baking. 20-25 minutes while the first batch bakes is fine; a few hours while you run out to pick up the kids and finish some errands is not.

      Remember that the minute the wet and dry ingredients meet, a chemical reaction starts to take place. To get a light, fluffy, and beautifully raised bread, you want that chemical reaction to take place inside the oven as the batter bakes so that the air that is created gets sealed into the baking bread. If your batter is sitting on the counter or on the fridge, the air created inside will just escape into the room, and come time for baking, there will be less to lift the bread up.
      If none of these things seem to be the problem, I would make sure you are using large eggs or biiger and they are at room temperature when added.
      Hope that helps!
