Directions
Hidden Veggie Quick Bread (No Yeast), Note: This is kid-friendly and a good way to sneak a little bit of veggies into their diet, but please note that it isn’t intended to be strictly health food It’s just a way to make a treat a little healthier Nevertheless, the recipe is adaptable, so there are healthier substitutions you can make You can use all whole wheat flour, reduce the amount of sugar, or use a sugar substitute , I like the idea of this, but one cup of vegetable pure, especially if it is a high sugar/starch vegetable like carrots or sweet potato, does not counterbalance the full cup of sugar and 3/4 cup white flour Go ahead and make it, but do not mistake it for health food , This recipe looks like a good recipe for a mildly sweetened bread/loaf recipe for grown ups But I wonder is it worth getting 1 cup of vegetables (or part of that) into a toddler if it means also using 1 cup sugar? Maybe that’s why they gobble it up

First a Note on the Vegetable Puree: Any Vegetable Will Work, Provided That You Can Get a Relatively Thick Puree (about the Consistency of Canned Pumpkin). For Slightly More Watery Purees, Increase the Quantity by 1/3 Cup and Omit the Water. It's Easy to Make Vegetable Puree--Just Cook or Bake the Vegetables Until Soft, and Then Puree in a Blender or Food Processor, Adding Small Amounts of Water as Necessary. Some That Have Worked Well For Me: Squash, Beans, Peas, Sweet Potatoes and, of Course, Pumpkin--or Combine Several. It's Easiest to Make Extra Puree and Freeze It in 1-Cup Portions For Future Loaves. (note: Listed Prep Time Does not Include Making the Puree, as This Varies Depending on the Vegetable.). |
