Coconut Flour Red Velvet Bread Recipe
Recipe by: Megan Olson


Thick and decadent on the inside, this Red Velvet Bread recipe creates a Paleo treat balanced with wholesome ingredients!
Ingredients

1 large beet (about 1 ½ cups beet purée)
6 large eggs, room temperature
¼ cup melted coconut oil
¾ cup coconut flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup tapioca flour
4 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a bread pan by coating it with extra virgin olive oil.
Loosely wrap beet with foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, then reduce temperature to 350°F.
Remove foil from the beet; let cool 10 minutes. When it’s cool enough to touch with bare hands, run it under cold water and remove skin with hands.
Roughly chop the beet into quarters and add to a blender.
To the blender, add coconut milk, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Blend on high until beets are fully broken up. Then add coconut flour and blend again.
Next add tapioca flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and coconut oil. Blend a final time until combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan, spreading into an even layer.
Bake 45 minutes until the edges are brown and center is set.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan 20-30 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 12 pieces and serve!

Tip: This Red Velvet Bread is great for a quick breakfast with a cup of coffee or as a dessert topped with coconut cream. A treat you can feel good about eating!
