Yes, you can eat quinoa for breakfast too! This morning I made a healthy breakfast – an Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Casserole.
Since I’m the only one in the house that eats quinoa, I wanted to create a casserole that would last for several days. You can make this casserole, bake it, and keep it in the fridge for a few days.
You’ll have breakfast for the week, with just a few minutes spent ahead of time. If you are baking this breakfast casserole ahead of time, it’s easy to re-heat the whole casserole, or just a slice when needed.
Experiment with toppings. On my breakfast quinoa casserole this morning I added Greek yogurt and some Craisins. You could also add nuts, other fruit, hemp seeds, and more!
