I think it's great that you're willing to show that when you cook and or bake there is always a learning curve. It gives those who are not as experienced more motivation to try. It doesn't have to be perfect. Part of the fun is experimenting. Thank you for sharing.
I totally agree! The best way to learn is from our mistakes or the bravery of others to share their own experience. I get so sick of all the "beautiful" eye candy that turns out awful! Thanks for being real!
I didn't know that you can make bread or crackers (especially from home) from quinoa. This video was very helpful and informative. I'm enjoying learning things like this. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! I can't wait to try this! And thank you for mentioning the importance of good carbs at the end of the video. I'm a health coach and you are absolutely right! We need good carbs. Our bodies need good carbs for energy.
This looks like something I'd like to try. I'm getting some offset spatulas first though. I think that might help with spreading more evenly. Thank you for this video, including the things that didn't go as planned. That actually helps the rest of us to avoid those things during our learning curve. :)
So happy to see a healthy gluten-free cracker/pita recipe. I’m gluten-free, cows milk free, refined oil free & refined sugar free, so it’s challenging for me to find a healthy cracker that doesn’t have cheap overly processed oils like sunflower, safflower or canola oil & added sugar & cheap starches as main ingredients. And some healthy crackers that have very pure ingredients, are very hard and worry about cracking my teeth, lol. And this recipe can include any spices that I may have on hand and I like that you put spices in the dough and on top for full flavor. 🌻
Thank you....I just bought Quinoa, added to stewed chicken for substance and to a salad. I will try this this week. Typically, store bought crackers are salty, here, I control the seasonings. Also, thanks for the tip on rinsing.
Thank you for sharing! I do something similar with red lentils and water- can't wait to try it with the quinoa - the best recipes are sometimes the simplest, with few ingredients 🙂
@@karinskitchen2485 I love red lentils too!!! Nothing like a warm comforting bowl of dal 🙂 For a stove top "crepe" here's what I do: rinse 1 cup (237 ml) of red split lentils, soak them in 2 cups (473 ml) of water overnight, then blend them together. Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly brush with oil and ladle in 1/2 cup (118 ml) of the lentil batter. Swirl it around and cook 2-3 minutes on each side. You could also pour the batter onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake it, but I try to keep my oven off in the summer! That is the basic recipe, but I always add in a pinch of Himalayan pink salt, garlic powder, and whatever other spice I'm feeling at that particular moment. But it definitely needs the salt 👍
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to try this for sure! I have quinoa that I haven't been eating and gluten free crackers are just too expensive to buy. 👍🕊️
You’re so cute and nice. Tnx for sharing your recipe. Yes good carbs and good energy. I subscribed for you . I enjoyed it. I’ll make it and eat with hummus. I’m a healthy nut too. I like the way you presented. 🇨🇦🙏
We are doing all we can to eat healthy so your videos will be great for us if you make more. Don't worry, you will continue to smooth out your presentation as you go. Your sincerity is nice.
On my second try lol. first batch was a flop ! didn't cook long enough on the first try and it stuck to the parchment paper scraping it off into the pan to cook more, then more. Gave up when not too crispy. after it about cooled though I ate some and its very tasty. Second batch in the oven now, will wait for it to finish and see if I have any questions about sticking to the parchment paper. - second batch better, finding my groove and love the healthy carb ! I've been looking for things to use the bagel with everything spice ! Thank you
@@kathykaramanolis5370 It is Reynolds Kitchens parchment paper. I've learned that it was too wet still because it was not cooked long enough and that if I let it cool a little it would come off easier. thank you
Hi Crystal! I’m sorry you had trouble on your first try and I’m glad you tried again! The first time I made this, I made it as a pita bread and had trouble with the parchment sticking. I thought I had ruined it but I stuck it back in the over for a couple of minutes. Then it was easier to flip. Thank you for the review!
Informative video! Could you redo the process using two pans and show the entire process again including flipping the bed and putting it back in the oven. I am a visual learner and not being able to see what you are talking about is very difficult. Thank you!
When I made it as a flatbread, I just poured all the batter in a circle on to one cookie sheet so it was thicker. It turned out perfect that way. I just cut it into little triangles to eat it. I’m sure you could make little individual pitas by pouring a little at a time into a non stick frying pan but I haven’t tried it myself. If you do, let me know how it turns out!
Welcome! I hope you enjoy my channel. I dipped it in a white bean dip. I hadn’t thought of featuring that recipe. I’ll have to do that. It’s very good.
I’m going to try it. I’ve been on a semi keto diet (in as much as I’ve cut out soft drink and bread). Turns out I feel absolutely foul when I eat bread and I tried a gluten fake chicken recipe and my mouth got all itchy. I’m thinking I might have a problem with gluten. This will hopefully make a great cracker or pita that I can eat
Question: the cup of water that you used appeared to be more than an 8 oz cup as most recipes would be for. Can you clarify the exact amount of water? TFS!
So delicious, I will soak the quinoa next time. I’m on a mission to get my joints feeling better glad I watched your video. Amazing easy and great tasting. Thanks
@@vsrk12 yes But the exact measurements don’t really matter. As long as you have equal parts of each. 1 part water to 1 part quinoa Just make sure they are equal and you will be fine. It’s pretty simple
Hey! Do you have a recipe that could make use of buckwheat flour. I made something using that following biblical nutritionist’s cranberry walnut bread and it was terrible. Her recipe used some other flour and could have been really great. Mine was horrible. Pls share a recipe to make use of the left over buckwheat flour. Thank you!
Hi Jay Jay. I actually don’t have any experience with buckwheat flour. Although Ive seen others use it and know it’s a great option. If you join the trim healthy mama Facebook page, there is a ton of information. Search buckwheat flour and you will find some great results. Good luck!
@@karinskitchen2485 it’s been a while since I’ve tried it. I think best way is to preheat the stone, roll your dough out on parchment and then transfer both parchment and dough. Thank you for inspiring me to try it again.
And find where to look into the caméra so it looks like youre looking at us. Right now, you're looking off camera. Do you read the automatic subtitles? Nothing like it to notice all the ummm they kindly include... there's nothing wrong with having a cheat sheet text next to the camera...

Looks good.

Try twice baked at lower heat like drying. Make em thin tho cuz they will be really hard.

It is pretty set up after 10 minutes so it’s not too hard to flip. I used 2 spatulas.

Did you remove the parchment paper at that point? Or bake it the last bit with the paper on top?
@@debras3806 I just removed it

My mix came out watery. I think I left it in the refrigerator too long. At any rate, it’s too hot to run my over, so I’m frying it with coconut oil.
How much quinoa for one cup of water?
One cup of quinoa to one cup of water
