Quinoa & Chia Seed Bread is a tasty gluten free bread that is really easy to make and is made with only 7 ingredients.
I recently came across Teresa Cutter’s recipe for Gluten Free Bread which uses quinoa and chia seeds.
I am always on the look out for gluten free breads, so I decided to try it out.
YUM!!!
It was so tasty and it was also fairly easy to make. Always a win to have bread that does not have any additives and preservatives in it.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED
- Quinoa
- Chia seeds
- Olive oil
- Baking soda
- Sea salt
- Lemon
RECIPES NOTES
With this recipe you have to soak the quinoa and chia seeds (in seperate bowls) overnight.
The next day, drain all the water from the quinoa and then process in a blender (or food processor) with the chia seeds and the other ingredients until you get a batter like consistency.
Then pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for approximately 90 minutes and let cool for at least 30 minutes

Can we use the Arm and Hammer baking soda? The one in the orange box?
Thank you.
I have never used that baking soda sorry
do we use cooked or uncooked quinoa in this recipe?
uncooked quinoa 🙂
I just made this. Made 1/2 size. It actually works and tastes good. I toasted it and topped with vegan butter. Next time I’ll make a full size loaf. Thank you. 🙏😀
Thank you so much for letting me know and so glad you liked it 🙂
Has anyone tried replacing the lemon with vinegar? Do you think that would work OK if needed?
Can I add curcuma powder to the mix ? Also, can I put sunflower seeds on top before baking ?
Absolutely!! That would work fine I reckon 🙂
Can we use quinoa flour instead of quinoa ? What proportion?
I have not tried it with quinoa flour so cannot advise sorry!
I love the recipe! i’ve bought all the ingredients and i will try it tomorrow 🙂 thanks for sharing.
