Corn and Quinoa Cornbread is moist, flavorful, and downright scrumptious. Quinoa has more protein than any other grain and is a "complete protein." That means it contains all eight essential amino acids. So, what's not to love.
I first tried this recipe when visiting my daughter several years ago. I absolutely loved it and have made it many times since then. When I take it to potluck suppers, everyone loves it.
Quinoa adds a nutty flavor to cornbread and an awesome texture as do the kernels of corn.
You can substitute Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour (1:1) for the wheat flour, and it will be gluten-free.
