Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb, finely chopped
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup plant-based butter, melted
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and finely chop fresh rhubarb into small pieces to distribute its vibrant tartness evenly through the bread. Set aside while you mix the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, natural brown sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent. Whisk together until evenly blended to ensure the loaf rises and has a great crumb.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, melted plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixes: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, folding gently to combine. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be smooth but slightly lumpy to keep the bread tender and moist.
- Add Rhubarb: Fold the chopped rhubarb into the batter evenly so every slice has bursts of tangy delight.
- Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Place into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before slicing to preserve moist texture.
Notes
- Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor and texture.
- Mix batter only until combined to keep bread soft and tender.
- Ensure your oven is properly calibrated for consistent baking.
- Allow bread to cool fully before slicing to enhance texture and ease.
- Adjust the amount of natural brown sugar to balance sweetness and tartness.
