Ingredients
- 2 medium fresh beetroot
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the beetroots. Grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Stir in the ground cinnamon.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and honey until creamy and smooth.
Step 5
Add in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until combined.
Step 6
Fold in the grated beetroot and lemon zest gently until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Alternately add the flour mixture and low-fat milk into the beetroot mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the slice to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cool, cut into 8 slices. Serve and enjoy your healthy, low-sodium beetroot slice!
