Ingredients

    1 cup cooked Quinoa (follow package directions)
    3 medium-size ripe bananas
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 cup plain non-fat yogurt
    1/4 cup vegetable oil

    1 large egg
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 cup whole wheat flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the cooled cooked Quinoa in a mixing bowl and stir together with the bananas. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, salt, yogurt, oil, sugar and egg and continue mixing.

In a separate bowl mix together the baking soda, baking powder and flour. Add to the wet ingredients 1/2 cup at a time until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.

Use Pam (or similar) spray to grease a loaf pan and pour in the batter. Bake in oven for 1 hour.
