Gluten Free and Refined Sugar Free Beetroot and Blueberry Traybake Cake

Ingredients

250g cooked beetroot
1 egg
75ml milk
100ml vegetable oil
100g honey
270g gluten free self raising flour
100g gluten free oats (or switch to extra flour if you can't tolerate oats)
1tsp mixed spice
1tsp vanilla extract
125g blueberries

Method

  1. Place the cooked beetroots in a food processor or chopper and blitz until fine pieces add the egg, milk and vegetable oil and blitz again for a 30 seconds to make a smooth paste.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, place the gluten free self raising flour, gluten free oats and mixed spice, stir to combine then beat in beetroot mixture and vanilla extract.

  3. Add the blueberries and fold through the mix.

  4. Grease and line a square baking tray (I used a 9 inch square), pour in the mix and place in an oven preheated to gas mark 5/190c, bake for 40-50 mins until firm to the touch and browned on top.

  5. While still warm brush the top with some extra honey to give it a light sticky glaze. Cut into 16 pieces and enjoy!
