Quinoa, Pear & Raspberry Breakfast Slice

I was after a bit of a change for breakfast and I was keen to use up some quinoa flakes, so I searched the net for some recipe ideas.  I came across some ideas, but all of them were full of sugar!  Soooooo..... I experimented with a recipe without the need for 'sugar'.  This recipe is also gluten free, dairy-free and can be egg-free if required (you can use 2 eggs if desired, the slice would most likely hold better).  So here it is:

Ingredients:

½ cup quinoa flakes

½ cup Water

¾ cup almond meal

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp mixed spice (to sprinkle on top)

1 tsp ground Cinnamon

2 ripe pears chopped thin

1/8 cup Vegetable Oil

½ cup fat free Greek Yogurt

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1-1/4 cup mashed Ripe Banana

¼ cup of frozen raspberries

¼ cup of almond milk

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees.

2. Shift dry ingredients in a bowl.

3. Combine remaining ingredients (and 2 eggs if you are using them).

4. Grease bread pan with spray olive oil and pour mix in.

5. Bake in oven for 40 minutes or until a knife comes through clean.

6. Serve with fruit salad or vanilla yogurt.
