Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit to thicken for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Sweet Potatoes

    In a pot, boil the cubed sweet potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, black beans, onion, garlic, grated carrot, flaxseed mixture, oats, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Form the Loaf

    Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan and press it down firmly to shape it into a loaf.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Drizzle olive oil on top of the loaf and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until firm and golden on top.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

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