Cinnamon Almond Flour Quinoa Bread Recipe
Since quinoa flour is high in protein, it helps to give structure to gluten-free breads and helps them rise a bit more. It also has a lovely taste when toasted – it becomes very nutty and fragrant. Of course, that is completely optional. I find that even when untreated, quinoa flour is simply delicious.
This simple spiced quick bread has a lovely texture and toasts up beautifully. I love serving it with almond butter and sliced banana for breakfast!
