Baked Banana Berry Quinoa

We love baked oatmeal for breakfast, it's warming, hearty and so delicious. This is a spin-off that concept with a fresh new outlook using ingredients to boost the protein intake for a filling breakfast. Quinoa is soaked overnight, rinsed and then baked. Soaking will allow your body to absorb the nutrients more readily, including the protein! The flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, peanut butter, berries and bananas swirl together to create a morning treat. I hope you love this recipe!

How to cook Baked Banana Berry Quinoa

Baked Banana Berry Quinoa

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 8 x 8 or equivalent size pan.
2. Mix the water with flax and set aside.
3. Slice the bananas, place one banana on the prepared pan along with 1 cup of the blackberries.
4. Spread the quinoa on top of the berries evenly.
5. Add the balance of the fruit.
6. Mix the dairy free milk, flax egg, cinnamon, vanilla, peanut butter and any boosters like almond meal, chia seeds, maca powder etc. Mix in half of the coconut sugar now.
7. Pour the wet mixture into the corner of the pan, swirl and tilt as needed to evenly distribute and fully cover the fruit and quinoa. Top with the balance of the coconut sugar.
8. Bake for 1 hour uncovered.
9. Cool as long as you can and enjoy warm. The longer it cools the sturdier the slice. Serve with blackberry chia jam on top. Enjoy!

Blackberry Chia Jam

1. Mix, heat until thickens about 7-10 minutes and serve on top of breakfast.

NOTES:

Use your favorite fruit. Boost with pumpkin seeds, protein powder, pecans...for more protein. Make cashew milk: 1 cup soaked cashews, 3-4 cups water, blend and enjoy. Soaking the quinoa makes it easier to digest and allows you to absorb the protein and nutrients more readily.
