Carrot Quinoa Loaf




This recipe is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner and goes well with a salad (fruit or veggie) or soup. Nikos and I had this with a salmon salad and marinated jumbo shrimp. We ate nearly the whole loaf in one sitting- this bread has added protein, due to the use of quinoa, and is also loaded with fiber. We used bio honey in place of regular sugar. A sweet, cinnamon mouthwatering dish...
