I recently came across Teresa Cutter’s recipe for Gluten Free Bread which uses quinoa and chia seeds.

I am always on the look out for gluten free breads, so I decided to try it out.

YUM!!!

It was so tasty and it was also fairly easy to make. Always a win to have bread that does not have any additives and preservatives in it.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

  • Quinoa
  • Chia seeds
  • Olive oil
  • Baking soda
  • Sea salt
  • Lemon

RECIPES NOTES

With this recipe you have to soak the quinoa and chia seeds (in seperate bowls) overnight.

The next day, drain all the water from the quinoa and then process in a blender (or food processor) with the chia seeds and the other ingredients until you get a batter like consistency.

Then pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for approximately 90 minutes and let cool for at least 30 minutes

  1. I just made this. Made 1/2 size. It actually works and tastes good. I toasted it and topped with vegan butter. Next time I’ll make a full size loaf. Thank you. 🙏😀
