Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quinoa Bake
This apple cinnamon breakfast quinoa bake is packed with protein, naturally gluten-free, and sweetened with maple syrup to kickstart your day with a nourishing morning meal. Imagine the cozy aroma of apple pie meeting the hearty satisfaction of baked oatmeal—except you’re swapping the oats for ultra-nutritious quinoa, layering in healthy fats, plant-based protein, and warm spices.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups of soy milk
- 1/3 cup coconut yogurt
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- ¼ cup of hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- 1 chopped Honey Crisp apple
- 3 chopped medjool dates
For Serving:
- Almond Butter
- Sliced apples
Instructions
- Add quinoa, soy milk, coconut yogurt, almond butter, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, and salt to your baking dish. Mix very well to combine thoroughly.
- Roughly chop your Honeycrisp apple and Medjool dates. Add them to the baking dish and stir again. The fruit will soften and caramelize in the oven, adding incredible flavour and texture.
- Bake at 350°F for 60–70 minutes. The quinoa will absorb the liquid and become tender, while the top forms a lightly golden, cozy layer. The bake should be set in the middle—no longer wet or loose.
- Scoop into bowls and top with a dollop of extra coconut yogurt, a drizzle of almond butter, and fresh sliced apples.
