Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose gluten free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • cup maple syrup
  • 4 T Earth Balance or unsalted butter, softened slightly
  • 3 eggs at room temperature; or flax eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoon orange zest
  • ¾ cup toasted almonds chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using flax eggs, mix 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds with 9 tablespoons warm water. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in cooked quinoa.
  • In a large bowl, beat agave nectar and butter at medium until creamy. Add (flax) egg slowly, scraping down the sides as needed. Add in vanilla, almond extract and coconut oil.
  • Reduce mixer to low and add in flour mixture just until combined. Add in almonds and orange zest.
  • Use floured hands and shape dough into a loaf on parchment lined baking sheet. Pat the loaves flat on top and smooth with the back of a spoon that had been dipped in cold water. Bake for 35 minutes and remove from oven. Allow to cool on the baking sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 325.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut loaves onto ½ inch slices lengthwise. Cut lengths to about 2 ½ to 3 inches long. Place the slices on the baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack for one hour prior to serving.
