Instructions

Cooking Quinoa
I used a rice cooker and placed 1 cup quinoa to 1.5 cups water and cooked it this way, otherwise:

1.  In a small pot, rinse the quinoa gently with water. 
2.  Bring 1 cup of water to boil at medium-high heat.
3.  Add in 1/2 cup of quinoa and bring water to a boil, cover pot and reduce heat to medium-low. 
4.  Let quinoa cook covered until water is completely absorbed and quinoa is soft (approx. 15-18 mins)

Banana Bread
5.   Preheat oven to 350*F
6.   In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, cooled quinoa, baking powder, walnuts)
7.   In a separate bowl, mash bananas into chunks (not into a pulp so there are chunks in every bite)
8.   Add in eggs, coconut oil, sugar and vanilla extract. 
9.   Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture.
10. Pour mixture into a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and bake at 350*F for 30-32 minutes. 
11. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.
