Black Bean Sweet Potato Quinoa Loaf Recipe

Prepare Flax Egg

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens.

Sauté Vegetables

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked black beans, mashed sweet potato, cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, flax egg, soy sauce, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Add Breadcrumbs

Stir in the breadcrumbs until the mixture is thick enough to hold together.

Shape the Loaf

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan, pressing down firmly to shape.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Let the loaf cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
