Quinoa Cornbread
Serves 16
Time 40 min
This gluten-free updated version of classic cornbread has more flavor and texture than most, thanks to the cooked quinoa folded into the batter and sprinkled on top. Serve squares of it alongside or crumbled on top of beans, chili or roasted veggies. Watch our how-to video.

Ingredients
- 3 cups corn flour (not cornmeal)
- 1 1/4 cup cooked quinoa, divided

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
