Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked prewashed quinoa
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Baking spray with flour
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Spread quinoa and almond flour evenly on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 9 minutes or until lightly browned, rotating pan after 5 minutes. Cool completely on pan. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a food processor; process 1 1/2 minutes or until almost finely ground, scraping bowl after 1 minute. Add brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Add egg; pulse 3 to 4 times or until mixture begins to clump (mixture will be moist). Lightly press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan coated with baking spray (lightly coat hands with cooking spray if mixture sticks to skin). Bake at 350° for 18 minutes or until lightly browned, rotating the pan after 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. (Do not remove sides of pan)
