Why use quinoa flour?

Quinoa is a great source of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein! It contains high amounts of quercetin and also a specific antioxidant called flavanoid, which plays a massive role in the prevention of cardivascular diseases and cancer. It makes a nice variation from the whole-wheat flour because it has a deeper wholesome flavour. So…Ready? Prepare, whisk, BAKE!
