Yay for quinoa!  Oh, the versatility!  This morning I made a Cinnamon Apple Quinoa Yogurt Parfait.

First, I made a big batch of quinoa this morning to use in various recipes.

Breakfast Quinoa Cinnamon Apple Yogurt Parfait

I am always looking for recipes that are healthy but substantial.  I need a breakfast that will satisfy me and keep me going until lunch.

Here is yet another way to use quinoa for breakfast and get extra protein from the Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 1 chopped, peeled apple
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon water

Quinoa Mixture

  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

Greek Yogurt

Cinnamon Apple Quinoa Yogurt Parfait Recipe

In a saucepan over medium heat mix apples, nutmeg, cinnamon, and water.  Stir about 5 minutes until the apples soften.  You may need to add a little more water during this process so your apples don’t stick to the pan.

Turn off the burner.

Transfer the apple mixture to a bowl.

In the same (warm but turned off) saucepan, mix the quinoa with the additional nutmeg, cinnamon, and maple syrup.

Create your quinoa apple cinnamon yogurt parfait by layering the quinoa, apples, yogurt, and repeating until you get to the top.
