Quinoa Chia Bread

Yields: 10 slices

1 and 3/4 cup RAW quinoa

Overnight soak raw quinoa in water.

1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup water

Soak chia seeds also overnight in water. Give a few stirs at the beginning.

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 320 degrees F.

Drain quinoa and rinse really well through a sieve. Make sure the water is fully drained from your sieve.

Place the quinoa into a food processor, chia seeds, olive oil, water, baking soda, salt and lemon juice.

Mix in food processor for 3 minutes. The bread mix should resemble a batter consistency with some whole quinoa still left in the mix.

Generously grease a loaf pan with olive oil on all sides.

Spoon the batter into the loaf pan.

1 and 1/2 tbsp sunflower seeds

Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top.

Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes until firm to touch and bounces back when pressed with your fingers.

Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes in the loaf pan itself. Then remove from the pan and cool completely on a rack. The bread should be slightly moist in the middle and crisp on the outside. Cool completely before slicing / eating.
