Ever tried baking bread with Quinoa and Chia Seeds? 

You will love its soft texture and colour.

Its light brown colour comes from the molasses.

1 Tbsp butter
225g high protein flour
1 Tbsp chia seed

1 Tbsp molasses

Method:

Katie Foong: BiBi C. Bbc I tried baking with blended quinoa
but it taste a bit bitter because without soaking,
the quinoa has a slight bitter taste
September 7 at 9:50am

BiBi C. Bbc: I'm doing it right now.
I actually soaked it overnight.
It has this nutty taste to it too.

Katie Foong: Quinoa is a good source of protein.
It also helps to strengthen the immune system.
That is the reason why I like to bake and cook with it.
Unfortunately not many people can stand the nutty flavour and bitter
taste!
September 7 at 9:56am

Katie Foong: BiBi C. Bbc no worry,
it will if you have measured the ingredients correctly.
September 7 at 9:57am

BiBi C. Bbc: Sometimes I do cook it along with white rice .
So it's a good combination. Not so nutty.
�� yes I'm aware of its nutrients as it is gluten free too.
Days that we want to go on a healthier diet.

can I replace molasses with honey? 😊

Katie Foong: The molasses is of very small amount to give some sweetness and colour to the crumbs of the loaf. You may replace it with brown sugar, no need honey.
