This Quinoa Banana Bread with Quinoa Flour is made almond & coconut flour, quinoa flour, protein powder, bananas, eggs and coconut oil.

I know what you are thinking. No all purpose flour in this recipe?! This recipe is absolutely amazing because you pulse quinoa into a flour and use it instead, as well as almond and coconut flour.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix still using the hand blender as quickly as you can (don’t overdo it since it will make the bread/muffins hard).

Substitutions
- Almond flour: This can be found in the baking section of your local grocery store. They also sell them at Walmart, Target, Aldi, and Trader Joes.
- Coconut Flour: This is the same as the almond flour, although can be a bit more difficult to find.
- Sugar: You can use regular granulated sugar instead, or light brown sugar.
- Coconut oil: I wanted to give coconut oil as an option but you can use butter too.
- Protein Powder: You can use your favorite protein powder for this part. I love using the chocolate flavored Orgain protein powder.
- Xanthan Gum: You can find Xanthan Gum along Walmart’s baking aisle next to powdered products like flour.
Variations
Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.
- Deluxe - add nuts, chocolate, or peanut butter.
- Kid friendly - your kids will love this.

Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.
Storage
This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
Top tip
Place parchment paper in the loaf bread container so you can pull it out easier.
