This is a nutrient rich, dense and moist quinoa bread that I found here. It has a nutty texture that comes from the sprouted black quinoa and makes the perfect sandwiches.
I can’t tell you how good it tastes and how easy this recipe is. The most important steps would be to soak your quinoa overnight until sprouty before starting the recipe and puree it with other ingredients in your food processor. Don't expect it would resemble the traditional bread because it's naturally gluten-free, it wouldn't rise high. Use white or red quinoa if you don't have the black variety and tapioca starch can be substituted with cornstarch.

- Rinse quinoa thoroughly and place them in a pot or plastic container. Cover the quinoa with water and let soak overnight. Drain.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Grease or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Place the drained quinoa in a blender along with egg whites, almond milk, maple syrup, tapioca starch, and a good pinch of sea salt. Process until everything is well blended and pureed. You don't want any whole quinoa seeds left.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond meal, baking soda, and baking powder. Pour the pureed quinoa mixture into the dry one. Mix until just incorporated. The mixture will as runny as pancake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.

Delicious looking and I am sure great tasting bread! I would love a slice of such warm bread with some butter :)
When i have a bit time i will come back to this post to check how you sprouted quinoa love that idea.
It looks so flavourful - and thanks for the warning about it not rising. Nutrient-rich for sure!
This bread looks dense and delicious. I would like slivers of smoked salmon and some cream cheese on mine please.

i must look for some black quinoa as I have never seen it before. Adds such a nice dimension to the bread
I just can't get into quinoa, Angie, but I've only tried it in salads. Your bread looks marvelous and I've never even heard of black quinoa! Wonder if I'd like quinoa better in bread?

Quinoa bread! First I've heard of this...sounds delicious. I'm a big fan of quinoa.
So now i know what sprouted quinoa is! This looks good, Angie. Can you use regular quinoa, too?

I'm sure it's just as delicious as it is nutritious!
It looks wonderful - I'm always so impressed by your creative ways of making bread with supergrains like these - fabulous!

i'm learning something new today, the black quinoa in bread making. I dont know how the taste like but i like the pictures with the spread on. looks delicious to eat that!
I have a friend who can't do well on gluten so I'm always on the lookout for GF recipes, feel it is easier on my stomach too! Bread is an especially tough one to go without gluten- this looks fantastic. Also love that you used sprouted quinoa, something I'm enjoying of late but mostly in salads, can't wait to try it with bread!
I had quinoa once but it was creamy white not black. bread looks delicious
This loaf looks amazing Angie! I am a big fan of quioa but haven't tried baking with it yet - this is such a great idea! Love how hearty and dense this bread is :)
That bread is beautiful! I'm sure it was super delicious as well. :)
The idea of using sprouted quinoa is so amazing. I wanted to get into sprouting last summer, did lentils, then stopped. But I liked it. The bread looks so wonderful Angie.
This bread is full of good stuff - and no flour - love it and your photos!
This bread looks absolutely wonderful, healthy but full of flavour :D
YUM!
Cheers

Beautiful and surely very tasty!

Another beautiful and healthy bread, Angie! I don't believe I have seen the black quinoa yet but will have to look for it.
I surely need to get my hands on some black quinoa. I've only had the white and red. This bread looks delicious!
You always have the most amazing bread recipes, Angie!
Such a healthy bread.. will try it for sure.I am pinning it into my - To Make List
Oh, that looks delicious. And so pretty too. I'm always looking for ways to get more vegetarian protein in my diet, this sounds perfect.
I've never tried black quinoa, I'm going to look for it at the store! Your bread looks delicious and I love that it's gluten free :)
Sprouted is so in right now..but for good reason! I kind of really want to try making this bread!!!!
Wow, such a healthy bread,sound good with any spread :)
Wow... This going to be really a healthy alternative to other breads...
Your bread looks amazing! I never thought of using quinoa in a bread.
Quinoa sprouts so fast! I've done chickpeas before and they take forever. The texture of this bread looks so delicious Angie! I can't wait to sprout some quinoa.
Very tasty and healthy bread :) Love it :D
I baked quinoa bread before but it didn't turn out well :(.
I am so trying your version soon :D.
Gosh, you do come up with some wonderful recipes Angie. I've never come across sprouting quinoa before, let along turning this into bread. Your loaf looks fantastic, lovely idea.
Angie , this is one of your prettiest bread yet and I'm sure quiet delicious , too ! I've seen red quinoa here but that black one looks wonderful :D
this is terribly unique, angie! you always introduce me to the most interesting ingredients!
Being so dark and dense it reminds me of pumpernickel, but I'm sure it tastes quite different.
I'm really looking forward to trying this once baking season starts again. Bookmarked.
I love the sound of this bread and it looks beautiful with the grains coming through. My family has really become fond of quinoa so I make it at least once a week. I wonder how it would be if used as French toast? Very nutritious!
wow how cool and super healthy have a great weekend
I'll bet the texture of quinoa makes this a wonderful bread. We always have it on hand so I'll have to give it a try. I don't have the black quinoa, but I have a lovely red.
This looks incredible, such a dense and perfect textured bread!
quel joli pain il semble parfait et délicieux bravo
bonne soirée
Wow this looks amazing - can't wait to give it a go at some point! Do you think it would work with white quinoa as well?
Everything about this bread is new to me, but I know I'd love it, I adore deep dark earthy bread!
It sounds like a wonderful bread. Have not yet seen black quinoa in the Greek market but also tapioca flour and almond flour are hard to get :(
A beautiful healthy grain bread…I so enjoy a dense dark bread!
Where can I get free gluten? Oh, wait, that's not what it means.
What a wonderful lunch this would make Angie. It looks like it has so much texture!
You're so clever with your sprouting Angie -- a great way to boost nutrition and I just love the dark rustic look of this loaf.
My dear Angie,
I loved this bread of yours, such as others that you do so perfectly !
Cheers,
I have been reading how to prepare spouted quinoa. I like how you do it, seems easier. Your bread looks hearty and gorgeous. My hubby is a new fan to sprouted bread, so this needs to go on the must make list! Yum, Hugs, Terra
Lovely!!
I have never eaten sprouted quinoa bread. This looks so good!
What a gorgeous looking loaf!! Amazing how you always come up with such beautiful and healthy recipes!
My hubby would love this. Eating gluten-free does not mean being deprived, not with bread like this.
I wanna to try this one too. Simply irresistible!
