Quinoa Quick Bread Recipe

The radio suddenly started playing softly. It was totally weird because it was our clock radio. Neither one of us had set the alarm. If we had, it would have blared music like loud concert. For some unknown reason and right at 6:08am we were awakened by the faint sound of Eric Clapton singing Pretending. Then a minute later it stopped. I got out of bed, brewed coffee, and sat down to write this post about Maple Walnut Quinoa Quick Bread.

Things must happen for a reason. I was having writers block for days. Nothing came to mind as I stared at the screen. Then a crazy radio gave the spark to write. The same goes for this bread. Had it not been for Bread Bakers and our monthly theme, I would have never baked with quinoa flour. The theme is simply quinoa and at first I thought throwing in some toasted quinoa to a yeast wheat bread might be the way to go. I also had amaranth in the pantry and my thoughts went toward a multigrain.

Cookbooks were scoured for a good base recipe. I did not find what I was looking for in any of my bread books. Then I glanced over and saw the 500 Best Quinoa Recipes

Book. What does that book have in it? A whole chapter of bread. Awesome. This loaf is the result of a slight adaption to one of the recipes. (The link to the book is an Amazon affiliate link).

How is the maple walnut quinoa quick bread? It is very quinoa-y. This is the bread for you if you love quinoa. There is no mistake whatsoever in the flavor. There is a slight sweetness from maple syrup and a double crunch of toasted quinoa and walnuts. The top sparkles with turbinado sugar. I suggest slicing it thin, lightly toasting it, and serving it with maple butter or plain butter and jam.

Music and bread started my day. I’m wondering what is in store for the rest of the week. What I do know is there are links to a bunch of quinoa bread below. It’s interesting to see all the varieties. The Bread Bakers always have such wonderful recipes to share. Oh, and for something related to the theme check out Peanut Butter and Quinoa Granola for tasty homemade snack.

The uncooked whole quinoa is meant to be toasted until crunchy, so if you use cooked quinoa, you would probably get a squishier result. I'm not saying it wouldn't work at all, but it would definitely yield a different result.

Quinoa flour AND quinoa? Wow, you dove right into the deep end of the pool. Gutsy! Looks like a beautiful loaf, especially with the addition of the turbinado sugar (I'd add it to everything if I could–LOVE!)

Quinoa Bread Recipe requires just 8 ingredients and no yeast for a naturally vegan, nutrient dense, and high protein bread, it will be one of your favorite new quinoa recipes!

Buckwheat Quinoa Loaf

This quinoa bread recipe is the ultimate ‘effortless’ quick bread for novice cooks and ‘lazy bakers’. There’s no yeast or gluten involved, meaning no proofing, kneading, rising, etc. Instead, this quinoa flour bread is closer to a quinoa soda bread; combining the ingredients with baking powder and baking soda to provide lift in a bread dough that is more batter-like in consistency.

Plus, with a combination of quinoa flour and oat flour, this bread is naturally gluten-free—meaning you don’t even have to worry about over-kneading the dough. You may also like the combination of quinoa and oats in quinoa granola bars!

Soft,

Unlike other gluten-free bread, there are no specialty ingredients (like xanthan gum or psyllium husk) either! Instead, this gluten-free quinoa flour bread recipe relies on a combination of 8 simple ingredients and pantry staples.

Quinoa Flour Recipes

Once baked, this quinoa flour bread is slightly chewy with an earthy, nutty flavor, perfect for flavorful toast! Best of all, by using quinoa flour, this yeast-free bread recipe replaces empty and nutrient-poor grains and ingredients with a seed packed with fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats.

When cooking with quinoa, many recipes start by rinsing the quinoa to remove the bitter saponins from the outside of the seed. In many cases now, quinoa is pre-rinsed. However, if you want to make sure, then rinse the quinoa the day before or rinse, pat dry, and then place in the oven at its’ lowest temperature until dried before grinding into a flour.

This gluten-free quinoa flour bread batter is more like a batter/quick bread batter than bread dough and should be thick but not knead-able.

You can then use the bread any way you would regular bread. I think it works particularly well for toast with the toppings of your choice. Delicious!

Don’t add too many ‘extras’ to this quinoa bread recipe; otherwise, it may lead to crumbly bread. Make sure all the add-ins are small and easily sliceable.

Whole

Yes, you could use spelt flour or whole wheat flour instead. However, the bread will be slightly drier, with a nuttier flavor – so I prefer oat flour.

Sourdough Honey Quinoa Bread Recipe

I tested several flour combinations for this recipe. However, quinoa flour and oat flour worked best as quinoa is quite dry, yet oat flour is more ‘gluey’ and acts as an excellent binder for the gluten-free quinoa bread.

It’s very simple to prepare quinoa flour at home. All you need to do is transfer the quinoa to a high-speed blender (preferred) or food processor and process until floury. It seems to take a lot longer in a food processor, so be patient.

This may be due to unwashed quinoa (to remove saponins) or the brand of baking powder used. I haven’t had this issue, though.

Quinoa And Flax Toasting Bread

As mentioned above, this bread works great for a gluten free breakfast toast! Here are some fun ways to top your quinoa flour bread:

Make ahead: You can prepare the batter up to a day in advance (except the leavening agents) and store it in the fridge, covered. Then, when you want to bake, stir in the leavening agents, and add an extra splash or so of milk as needed (as the oats and quinoa will have soaked up more liquid overnight)- then bake.

Whole

Storing: Store the quinoa flour bread in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If the bread gets soggy around the edges, toasting lightly will ‘revive’ and give it a crunch.

Honey Quinoa Loaf

Freeze: You can freeze the loaf whole or slices (with parchment paper between the slices to avoid sticking). Store in a zip lock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To use, you can allow the bread to thaw at room temperature or thaw/reheat individual slices in a toaster oven or microwave as and when needed.

Deeks Gluten And Grain Free Quinoa Loaf

Welcome! I grew up in Ukraine watching my grandma cook with simple ingredients.

Plus, it's super easy to make as there's nokneadingor proving time required!

I tested this recipe with many different combinations of flours in different ratios. Using quinoa flour alone wasn't enough as the bread turned out dry and crumbly. I found that a half-half mixture of quinoa and oat flour was the best. This is because quinoa flour can be quite crumbly, but oat flour tends to be sticky. So, oat flour works as the perfect binding agent for quinoa flour in this recipe.

For making quinoa flour for this quinoa bread, I recommend white quinoa over tricolour quinoa, as
