Add this quinoa oatmeal bread to your collection of bread machine recipes. The combination of quinoa, oats, wheat and bread flours, buttermilk, and honey results in a delicious, wholesome bread with a nutty flavor and chewy texture.

Raw quinoa grains need to be cooked before adding them to the bread dough, or you can substitute quinoa flakes (a processed form of quinoa meant to be eaten as hot cereal which resembles oatmeal) for the cooked quinoa and eliminate that extra step.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup quinoa, or 1/2 cup quinoa flakes

  • 2/3 cup water

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour

  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

  • 4 tablespoons (2-ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Add the quinoa to a saucepan and cover it with the water. (If using quinoa flakes instead of raw quinoa, skip this step). Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, covered. Turn off the heat and let quinoa sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

  3. Check bread machine directions for the correct order to add the ingredients. Add the buttermilk, bread flour, whole wheat flour, oats, butter, sugar, honey, yeast, and salt (in an order specified by the manual) to the bread machine, including the cooked quinoa (or quinoa flakes).

  4. Program the machine for a whole grain loaf and let the bread machine cycle and bake.

  5. Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Tips

  • It is important that you are familiar with how your bread machine works before you dive into a recipe. Check to see the capacity of your machine; some make 1-pound loaves while others make 1 1/2- to 2-pound loaves. So when making a new recipe, you might want to compare with the measurements of a recipe you are familiar with to make sure your machine can handle it. There are also specifications when adding the ingredients; certain machines require adding the wet ingredients first while others call for the dry.
  • Quinoa bread is a dense loaf you can enjoy with your favorite spreads such as nut butter, butter, jam, jelly, cream cheese, chutney, and more. You can also serve slices to accompany soups and stews.
  • Store the bread in an airtight bag at room temperature to keep it fresh. It should last 3 days at room temperature, an additional two days if refrigerated. Monitor it for any mold developing and discard when you see mold. You can also freeze the loaf, sealed in an airtight bag, for several weeks.
  • If you don’t have a bread machine, you can make honey quinoa bread the old-fashioned way.
