Haven't make this yet, but looks like a great, gluten-free, nutritional treat! Came from /the-complete-protein-dessert-delicious-quinoa-spice-cake/ Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked quinoa |
1 cup buckwheat flour |
1 large organic apple, peeled and diced |
3 organic eggs |
1/2 cup organic butter, melted |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup raw sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1/2 cup organic raisins (optional) |
1 dash nutmeg or 1 dash allspice |
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract (or switch out for orange extract) |
Directions:
1. Cook quinoa and set aside. To cook quinoa, bring two cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa and a dash of salt and let simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until water has cooked off.
2. Mix dry ingredients.
3. Whisk butter and eggs together and add to dry mixture.
4. Combine all ingredients, including quinoa, and stir in apple pieces.
5. Pour into a greased 9-inch round pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350°F.
6. The best part about this recipe? It tastes great with a multitude of extras thrown inches Play around with a handful of chocolate chips and some candied ginger for a real treat.
7. Note: This recipe works great for vegans too – just switch out the butter for margarine and the eggs for an egg replacer.
