Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9×4″ metal loaf pan and adjust the oven rack to the center position.

Step 2

Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum(if using), 1 cup quinoa flakes, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Beat the egg, yogurt, melted coconut oil, water and honey together until well blended.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet ingredient to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just the batter is just combined – it will be a thick batter (do not overmix or the batter may become too tough).

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spoon the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the rest of the quinoa flakes evenly over the batter.

Step 7

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the quinoa bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing and then completely on a cooling rack before slicing into it.
