Quinoa Banana Muffins

In Baking, Breakfast, Recipes, Snacks by Muriel1 Comment

I tried out a variation on vegan banana bread that is gluten-free and sugar-free, using quinoa flour as a one-to-one substitute for wheat flour. And it’s wonderful! I used the quinoa flour from Woolworths, but you can also just buy quinoa and process it into a flour using a food processor or Nutribullet. This flour is a fantastic option for gluten-free baking, since it’s much more nutrient-dense than other gluten-free flour blends that use potato starch and other low-protein flours.

Here’s my recipe for vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free banana bread muffins (what a mouthful).
