Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rolled oats, mixed nuts, seeds, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, olive oil, milk, and eggs until well combined.
- Add the cooked quinoa to the wet ingredient mixture, stirring until incorporated. Then, gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Afterward, remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
This bread is perfect for toasting and can be served with a variety of spreads. Feel free to experiment with different nuts and seeds based on your preference!
