Quinoa-bananbrød
Ingredienser
- 1 ½ kopper Most banan - (merknad 1)
- ⅓ cup Lønnesirup
- 1 ½ kopper Kokt quinoa - avkjølt (merknad 2)
- ⅓ cup Olivenolje med mild smak - (merknad 3)
- 1 teskje Vaniljeekstrakt
- 2 kopper All-purpose mel - (merknad 4)
- 2 ts Baking Powder
- 1 teskje Natron
- 2 ts Kanel
Valgfritt
- ½ cup Valnøtter - opphakket
Instruksjoner
- Forvarm ovnen til 180 °C. Kle en brødform på 23 x 13 cm med bakepapir. Smør papiret og formen lett med oljespray eller kokosolje. Sett til side.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Mash until almost no lumps show, it must be very runny for an ultra-moist texture. Measure 1 cup + 1/2 cup of mashed bananas – if extra, freeze for later.
- Stir the maple syrup, cooked, cooled quinoa, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
- Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Stir with a rubber spatula until the batter is consistent.
- Fold in chopped nuts if desired, and stir to evenly incorporate.
- Overfør røren til den forberedte brødformen.
- Stek brødet på midterste rille i ovnen ved 180 °C til en pinne stukket i midten av brødet kommer ut ren – omtrent 50 til 55 minutter. Du kan legge et stykke folie oppå formen etter 40 minutter for å hindre at bananbrødet brunes for fort.
- Let the bread cool down for 10 minute in the pan, then on a wire rack for 2 hours before slicing.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
Du trenger bare noen få enkle ingredienser for å lage denne oppskriften. Slik velger og bytter du dem.

- Most banan – This is the primary sweetener and provides essential moisture, binding the ingredients and giving the bread its characteristic flavor. Make sure your bananas are very ripe, with plenty of black spots, for the best sweetness and texture.
- Lønnesirup – This natural liquid sweetener adds an extra touch of sweetness and helps with the overall moisture of the bread.
- Kokt quinoa – This superfood adds a boost of protein and micronutrients, contributing to the bread’s unique texture without overpowering the banana flavor. It’s crucial that it’s cooked and cooled before adding to the batter.
- Lett olivenolje – This fat contributes to the bread’s moist and tender crumb. You can also use other neutral-flavored oils for baking, such as melted and cooled coconut oil or canola oil.
- Vaniljeekstrakt – This enhances all the other flavors in the bread, adding a warm, comforting aroma.
- All-purpose mel – This provides the main structure for your banana bread, giving it a familiar, tender texture. You can also use white spelt flour or white wholewheat flour.
- Baking Powder – This is a leavening agent that helps the bread rise, creating a light and airy texture.
- Natron – This also acts as a leavening agent, reacting with the acidic ingredients (like banana) to help the bread rise and achieve a tender crumb.
- Kanel – This warm spice adds a nice flavor that perfectly complements the banana.
- Valnøtter – These optional chopped nuts add a lovely crunch and earthy flavor to the bread.

Carines baketips
La meg dele noen flere tips til et perfekt bananbrød.
- Ripe Bananas are Best – Always use very ripe bananas for banana bread. The blacker the spots on the skin, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be, and the easier they are to mash smoothly.
- Mash Thoroughly – Mash your bananas very well, aiming for an almost runny consistency with minimal lumps. This helps create an ultra-moist bread and ensures even distribution throughout the batter.
- Cooled Quinoa is Crucial – Ensure your cooked quinoa is completely cooled before adding it to the wet ingredients. Adding warm quinoa can affect the batter’s consistency and how the bread bakes.
- Ikke overmiks – When folding in the dry ingredients, stir just until the batter is consistent and no dry streaks remain. Overmixing can lead to a tougher bread texture.
- Forhindre overbruning – If you notice the top of your banana bread browning too quickly during baking, loosely tent the pan with a piece of foil after about 40 minutes. This will allow the inside to finish cooking without the crust becoming too dark.
- Se etter ferdighet – Because this is a thick loaf, it takes a while to bake through. Always test for doneness by inserting a wooden skewer or toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your bread is ready. If it’s wet or has crumbs, continue baking in 5-minute increments.
- Avkjølende tålmodighet – Resist the urge to slice into your banana bread too soon! Letting it cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then for 2 hours on a wire rack allows it to set properly, ensuring clean slices and a better texture.








I have protein flour from fit flour is that usable in this quinoa banana bread recipe? thank you Laurie Connor
More protein in flour result in way more liquid being absorbed by the recipe, resulting in a dry and dense texture, unless you adjust the recipe regardingly.
I made this and it is amazing! I made muffins instead of a loaf and it turned out great. I was wondering if i could substitute applesauce for the oil or maybe the maple syrup? When I make it again, my husband wants raisins and nuts in it. lol Not my thing but I will try it. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes.
You could, but the texture will be very dense because the bread already contains many wet ingredients like mashed banana and quinoa.
Carine: Can you include info to bake in Air fryer, tks. in advance
For all my recipes, if you want to bake in the air fryer, follow those rules: Reduce the Temperature by 20°C (approx. 25-30°F), reduce baking time by 20%.
hallo der,
can I use sprouted wholewheat spelt flour?
Wholewheat flour contains lots more fibers, you will need more liquid, rest the batter 15 minutes before baking or the bread will be dry.
Hi
Could you please tell me where to find your conversion guide for gluten free

I didn’t have time to cool the quinoa after cooking it, but the bread still rose beautifully and cooked to a great texture! This was delicious- thank you for the recipe!
That’s amazing. Thanks for trying my recipes.
I made this recipe and it is delicious ! I reduce the cinnamon to 1 Tbsp only because my husband is not a fan and it was just enough . I also used avocado oil instead of olive oil. Thank you for the recipe !
That’s nice to hear, thank you!
Hei!
Just wondering if the recipe means measure 1 1/2 cups dry and then cook it OR 1 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa?
Skål
The recipe card says 1 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, it means the quinoa is measured after cooking.
hola!!, gracias x la receta podría comentar cuánto es en gramos un sobre de polvo para hornear,
What can I use instead of maple syrup, want to do this for my 1 yr old baby.
You can skip it completely, swap for some yogurt if you like but not necessary either, it will hold very well.
