Ingredients

• 250 g beetroot, cooked and grated
• 100 g wholemeal flour
• 100 g rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• 80 ml honey
• 50 ml unsweetened apple sauce
• 100 ml low-fat milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8 inch x 8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and cinnamon powder.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the honey, unsweetened apple sauce, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined.

Step 4

Add the grated beetroot and lemon zest to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the slices dense.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the beetroot slice to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, cut into slices and serve. Enjoy your healthy, low-fat beetroot slice!
