Quinoa Nut and Seed Loaf
Quinoa Nut and Seed Loaf is a hearty and nutritious bread alternative, brimming with a mix of quinoa, nuts, and seeds. Perfect for those seeking a gluten-free and protein-rich option, this loaf is versatile and delicious. Whether enjoyed toasted with butter or topped with your favourite spreads, it's a healthy addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dry quinoa I used white, but any colour/tri colour is fine
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup pepitas
- ½ cup hemp seeds
- ⅓ cup sesame seeds
- ⅓ cup almonds roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- ⅓ cup ground flaxseed
- ⅓ cup psyllium husk
- 1 tablespoon sea salt flakes
- 350 ml hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170c
- Cook the dry quinoa to packet instructions then add to a bowl with the rest of the dry ingredients and mix well
- Add the hot water and mix again
- Transfer mixture to a lined baking tin. Press down and firmly pack the mix into the tin. Bake for 45 minutes.
- Allow to cool then slice up and use as you would bread. I love it toasted with some butter and hard boiled eggs.
Notes
- Press Firmly: Ensure the mixture is firmly packed into the tin to help the loaf hold together.
- Cool Completely: Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
