Equipment
- Loaf Pan 9"x5" or similar
- Parchment Paper (optional)
- Food Processor
- Nonstick Spray
Ingredients
Bread Batter:
- 1 package muffin mix and all ingredients required on the box (I prefer the TJ's blueberry muffin mix and leave out the blueberries)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Brekki Beet Spread:
- 1 large or 3 small beets cooked (cooled), peeled and roughly chopped (I like this brand that’s ready to go)
- 1 Dragon Fruit peeled and roughly chopped or grab a pre-packed Dragonfruit Smoothie kit Sub 1 cup strawberries/berries if dragon fruit is not available
- 1 ripe banana 2 if you are not doing the smoothie kit above
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons honey to taste
Instructions
To Make the Brekki Beet Spread:
- Grab that food processor!
- Add everything all at once and blend until smooth. Yup, that’s it!
- Set aside until the assembly stage.
To Make the Bread Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk the muffin mix, all ingredients required and vanilla.
- The dough should be thick but a little loose, but if not, add milk and stir a little bit at a time until you get that texture.
To Assemble:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease the pan. I also like to line my pan with parchment paper as a double precaution.
- Add half of the muffin bread batter to the pan.
- In spoonfuls, dollop the Brekki Dragon Beet Spread evenly over the top and use a knife to create even swirls.
- Add the remaining muffin bread batter on top, and repeat with the Brekki Dragon Beet Spread.
- Bake for ~45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for ~15 minutes, then serve and enjoy.
