2tbspbeet root powder(12 g) sub a few drops of red food coloring
1tspbaking powder
1/4tspbaking sodaomit this if using a real egg
Frosting
3tbspcream cheese frosting(35 g) I used store-bought
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and grease your pan.
Mix flax/egg, applesauce, syrup, cocoa and beet powder until smooth.
Whisk together flour, almond flour, baking powder, soda, pinch salt.
Combine the two via folding, do not overmix. This should resemble cake batter, if it's too dry add 1 tbsp water or (nut) milk and fold again.
Transfer batter into loaf pan, bake 40 min (20-25 minutes for muffins).
Let your loaf cool completely then frost and slice. Enjoy!!
Notes
If you’re like me and enjoy something not too sweet but flavorful this loaf is for you. If you want this to satisfy a dessert craving though, add a little extra granulated sweetener.
To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
