Quinoa Breakfast Bake
Quinoa Breakfast Bake features cooked quinoa blended with mashed bananas, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, almond milk, and warm spices like cinnamon and vanilla. Fresh berries add juiciness and color throughout the bake, which sets to a golden brown in the oven. The texture is firm yet moist, making it suitable for breakfast served with nut butter or more maple syrup. This dish provides a wholesome, grain-based morning option with natural sweetness and fruit.
