Quinoa Banana Bread

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/user-post-quinoa-banana-bread-2461303/

I have not yet tried this recipe, but I am most intrigued. It comes at an opportune time, as my bug has been advised to eat more big people food, especially that which is rich in protein!

Quinoa Quick Tips:
  • Quinoa expands to 4x it's size when cooked, so if you need one cup of cooked quinoa, start with 1/4 cup of dry quinoa.
  • Use a 2:1 ration of liquid to quinoa when cooking. So if you are cooking 1/4 cup of dry quinoa, use 1/2 cup of water (or broth...but not for banana bread, silly!)
  • Combine dry quinoa and liquid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook for approximately 15 minutes.

Probably some of the best BB I've made in a while. The yogurt and oil keep it nice and dense and moist. And the bug liked it too!
