QUINOA + OATMEAL + BANANA + APPLE BREAKFAST TREAT





I've been searching for a good recipe on Pinterest for breakfasts! Something easy and on the go!  This turned out really well and I recommend making it.  You can eat it in the car or at your desk.  


ALSO - I thought that these were going to be sweeter than they are, so don't be surprised when you bite into one :)


What you need: 
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 3 mashed bananas
  • 1 banana for slicing
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (about ½ cup dry)
  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon - recommend using more
  • 1 apple, peeled and chopped - I kept the peel on turned out great
How to make them:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin tin (I used a cooking spray made with olive oil)
  2. Cook the quinoa by following the instructions on the package.  I used 1/2 cup of Quinoa and 1 cup of water.
  3. Mix applesauce, mashed banana, almond milk, honey and vanilla in a bowl.
  4. Mix dry ingredients (quinoa, oats, cinnamon) into the combined wet ingredients.
  5. Chop up an apple. Mix the apple chunks into the bowl.
  6. Fill each of the muffin cups to the top with the quinoa mixture. Add a banana slice or two to the top of each (optional)
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy one warm!
