Recipe type: Breakfast, Snack
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • Bread ingredients-
  • ½ cup uncooked quinoa (Plus 1 cup of water for cooking)
  • 1-cup garbanzo & fava bean flour
  • ½ cup brown rice flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda + ¼ t arrowroot + ½ t cream of tartar (OR 1 t alum- & corn-free baking powder)
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 farm fresh eggs
  • 1 ripe banana
  • ¾-cup milk (whole or 2%, organic or raw)
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries, thawed)
  • Topping ingredients-
  • ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • ¾ tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. fresh nutmeg
  • ⅓ cup grass-fed butter
Instructions
  1. Cook quinoa on stove per package directions (usually just simmer for 10-15 minutes).
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Line each well of the mini loaf pan with paper liners, or grease sides and bottom of each well. (Coconut oil or melted butter works fine)
  4. Mix dry ingredients in medium bowl – garbanzo & fava bean flour, brown rice flour, baking soda, homemade making powder, sea salt, cinnamon. (Save coconut sugar for wet ingredients).
  5. Beat two eggs in a large bowl. Add ripe banana and smash. Add milk and coconut sugar. Stir to combine.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until completely combined. Do not over mix or loaves will be tough.
  7. Add quinoa. Stir to combine. Gently fold in blueberries. Pour into baking pan.
  8. Topping-
  9. You should have time to make your topping after making the batter, while your quinoa is still cooking.
  10. Melt the butter. Add oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Spoon the topping onto each mini loaf.
  11. NOTE- You’ll see in the pictures that my topping is quite flakey, which I love. That said, it’s pretty messy. We typically eat this with a side of ice cream, so I don’t mind some of my topping falling off to dip in my ice cream. If you want it to stay on better, I have placed the topping ingredients in my food processor to breakdown the oats
