How to Make Quinoa Bread – A Healthy and Delicious Alternative
Quinoa bread is a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to traditional bread. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, it’s perfect for those looking to eat clean without sacrificing flavor. The bread has a nutty, slightly earthy taste with a dense but soft texture – making it ideal for toast, sandwiches, or simply enjoyed with a spread
Soak the quinoa and chia seeds in water separately for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Drain quinoa and rinse thoroughly. Blend it with soaked chia, water, oil, baking soda, vinegar, and salt until smooth.
Pour into pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before slicing. This helps the bread firm up and slice better.
Taste and Texture:
Quinoa bread has a hearty, slightly chewy texture with a moist crumb. The taste is mild but nutty, thanks to the quinoa, with a hint of earthiness. It’s not sweet, so it pairs well with both savory and sweet toppings. Toasting brings out a deeper, roasted flavor that complements nut butters, avocado, or even eggs beautifully.
Whether you’re gluten-intolerant or just seeking a healthier bread alternative, quinoa bread is a fantastic choice. Once you try it, the unique flavor and nutritional benefits might make it your new favorite!
