If you
have visited my site before, you may have noticed that many of my recipes
include tangerines. I have a grandmother
who loves to send me home with juicy tangerines & grapefruit from her
trees. This morning I made bread similar
to last week’s lemon-ginger walnut bread.
Today’s version is tangerine with cranberry & pecans. Quinoa flour & yogurt add protein to the bread, & ground flaxseed adds heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. I used quinoa flour, oat bran, & spelt
flour in this recipe, but if you don’t like or have those, use whatever you
have. Quinoa flour adds protein, but
also a different flavor; if you do not like quinoa, I recommend using another
type of flour. If you haven't tried quinoa yet, try it in a dish before buying flour for this recipe. Quinoa flour is expensive! This bread is not very sweet,
which is why I like it as breakfast bread.
If you prefer sweeter bread, add sugar (½ cup) to the dry
ingredient mixture, or make a glaze.
