Quinoa And Chia Bread Recipe
INGREDIENTS
300g quinoa seeds
60g chia seeds
60 ml coconut oil
3g baking soda
3g salt
10g lemon juice
METHOD
1 The first important step is to soak the quinoa seeds in cold water overnight in the fridge.
2 The chia seeds also need to be soaked; usually 15 minutes are enough until they become gel like. Rinse the quinoa seeds and fully drain the water through a sieve, before you put them in a food processor for 3 minutes. The consistency of the mix should resemble batter with a few whole seeds in it.
3 Now you can simply add the chia gel and all the other ingredients into the food processor and mix them for about 3 more minutes.
4 Finally, put the mix in a loaf tin lined with baking paper and slowly bake in an oven at 170 degrees, for 90 minutes.
5 Before taking it out of the tin, let it cool down for 30 minutes
