Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, washed and chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 3/4 cup plant-based sugar
- 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1/3 cup plant-based oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (such as pectin or agar)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and chop fresh rhubarb into small pieces to ensure even distribution and infuse a tangy flavor throughout the bread.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent to create an even base that supports rising and moisture retention.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the plant-based sugar, plant-based oil, plant-based yogurt, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Rhubarb and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped rhubarb into the wet mixture, coating the pieces well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to maintain a tender batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to keep the texture perfect.
Notes
- Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid tough bread.
- Check the bread starting at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- Adjust sugar according to the tartness of your rhubarb for balanced sweetness.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing for ideal texture.
