Corn and Quinoa Cornbread

Corn and Quinoa Cornbread is moist, packed with flavor and downright scrumptious. It's easy to make it gluten free, too.

Corn and Quinoa Cornbread has tons of protein and is so tasty.

Corn and Quinoa Cornbread, AKA Quinoa Cornbread

Hi. It's Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop. I first tried this recipe when visiting my daughter Erin 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, too.

Quinoa has more protein than any other grain, and it is a "complete protein." That means it contains all eight essential amino acids. So it's really good for you.

 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. I cannot remember where I got the original recipe from. I thought it might be a Moosewood recipe, but I haven't been able to find it in any of my cookbooks!
