Banana Bread

Quinoa is high in protein, calcium and iron. Quinoa flour, unlike wheat flour, contains no gluten and therefore does not lend itself to bread recipes. However, a small percentage (10 to 20 %) of Quinoa flour in a bread recipe yields a more nutritious and lighter loaf.   You can substitute this flour for half of the all-purpose flour in many recipes or completely replace wheat flour in cakes and cookie recipes. Quinoa flour can be substituted for 50% of the flour in a baking powder-risen recipe and 25% in a yeast-risen recipe.  Of the various grains, quinoa flour performs most like barley and yields a delicate, delicious crumb in a cookie.

Suggestions:
1. A 100% quinoa flour cracker is a gourmet treat.
2. Quinoa flour may be used for thickener in soups.
3. Quinoa adds a nutty flavor to baked goods.
4. Quinoa flour is higher in fat, so it tends to make bread more moist.

Experiment with Quinoa flour in various recipes, for its fine flavor and superior nutrition enhances many baked goods.
