Quinoa Banana Bread

This Quinoa Banana bread consists of classic south american ingredients, and is PACKED with protein, supplemented by extra chia seeds. It’s one of my favourite loafs in the world. I don’t add any sugar to mine but ripe bananas are really all the sugar this needs. I love how you simply whack all the ingredients in a food processor (minimising mess/washing up.) If you are feeling sinful toast it and smother liberally in Nutella, but if you are being good then top it with brazil nut butter and feel like Gisele.
