Ingredients

For the vegan banana-quinoa bread:

  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons agave
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 cup almond milk

For the berry- chia jam:

  • 2 cups frozen or fresh berries I used frozen mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, cherries, and strawberries)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa according to the instructions on the package.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (180 °C).
  • Place the grated flax seeds and the water in a small bowl and allow to thicken.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in the flax seeds.
  • Grease a bread tin with vegan margarine and pour in the batter.
  • Bake for 60 minutes. Allow to cool down before removing it from the bread tin.
  • Meanwhile make the berry-chia jam: Place the frozen or fresh berries in a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Lightly mash the berries with a fork or a potato masher. Make sure to leave some parts of the fruits intact. Stir in the chia seeds and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the mixture is thick enough.
  • Serve the banana-quinoa bread together with the berry-chia jam.
