Hey there!

Let’s be real: sometimes, you just want the bread.

You want the warm, comforting, dippable, ‘toastable’ kind of thing that pairs with soup or eggs or a spread. But you don’t want the bloat, brain fog, or energy crash that usually tags along.

That’s where this quinoa flatbread comes in.
It’s #LoraApproved (in moderation!), it actually gets crispy and it’s packed with ingredients that love your gut and hormones.

Not an everyday staple, but a strategic swap when you want that bread-like vibe without the backlash.

Why This Flatbread Works for Midlife Wellness

If you’re navigating hormone shifts, gut issues, or just trying to stay sharp and energized, traditional bread can be… tricky. Even the gluten-free ones at the store are often loaded with gums, starches, and blood sugar-spiking flours.

This flatbread, on the other hand:

  • Is naturally gluten-free
  • Packs in fiber and complete protein from quinoa
  • Uses real, whole ingredients
  • Has no gums, weird fillers, or flour blends.

You still get that crispy-chewy texture, and you get to feel good afterward!

How This Recipe Supports Gut + Hormone Health

Here’s what makes this more than just a bread replacement:

  • Quinoa = complete protein + fiber to support blood sugar and metabolism
  • Soaking the quinoa = improves digestion and nutrient absorption

It’s filling, flavorful, and doesn’t hijack your hormones like refined bread can.

  • Dip into soups or serve with bone broth
  • Pair with eggs in the morning
  • Cut into triangles and store extras in the freezer

It holds up, reheats well, and travels great. Total win!

Description

This crispy quinoa flatbread, made with soaked quinoa, is a versatile, gluten-free option that’s perfect for any meal or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. ¾ cup uncooked quinoa, soaked*
  2. ¼ cup water
  3. ½ teaspoon baking powder
  4. pinch of salt

*Soaking tip: Cover quinoa with water and soak 6–8 hours. In a rush? Use hot water and soak for 30 minutes minimum.


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly.

  2. Rinse soaked quinoa thoroughly. Add it to a blender with water, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Pour onto pan and spread evenly (about ⅛” thick). You can shape into a rectangle or circle.

  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the flatbread, peel off parchment, and return to oven.

  6. Bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

  7. Cool, slice, and serve however you like.
