You've Been Eating This Superfood All Wrong

While quinoa can't be used as a full substitute for all-purpose flour, it can be cooked, processed, and blended in with flour or flour-free substitutes as a supplement. Dairy-free ginger cookies are a protein-filled (and guilt-free) quinoa dessert option.

You can also add whole quinoa to existing flour to pump up the nutritional content, like with these quinoa pancakes.
