Breakfast this morning was inspired by Heather. A few days ago I saw her post on quinoa granola and after yesterday’s quinoa breakfast, I knew I had to try it ASAP!
I had mind with greek yogurt and a sliced banana.
Seriously. Best homemade breakfast I’ve ever had! That’s saying a lot!
I tweeked her version a bit. Here’s my recipe for a single serving:
Coconut Quinoa Granola
inspired by Quinoa Granola
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
1 tbsp flax
1 tbsp unsweetened coconut
1 tbsp agave
cinnamon
Rinse the quinoa. Combine all the ingredients and spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally.
This was all sorts of delicious! The whole meal also had about 20g of protein! Kept me full for a pretty long time (5 hours?).
Definitely recommend it.
Ugh too much to read tonight! Have a good one!
I AM SO SAD SUFFICIENT GROUNDS IS CLOSINGGG. I hope Yogurt Park isn’t next. And when I go home I’m going to add this quinoa granola recipe in my list of Make-Everything-Karla-Makes.
Darn it!! I used the last of my quinoa in tonights dinner
That looks so so good, I’ll have to go get more quinoa soon!!!
this looks really good and simple to prepare, i’ll definitely try it
This looks amazing! I love having quinoa flakes in my breakfast porridge but I’ve never tried “real” quinoa before. I’ve seen toasted quinoa floating around in the blogworld but now I can’t wait to try your adapted quinoa granola creation!
Holy protein power deliciousness!! This looks great – and I’ve finally got Quinoa
Treat yourself to something fun this weekend – you’ve worked hard! I think a Moosewoods date would do
Oh man. I gotta try it! I’m seeing it everywhere now!
Oh my gosh, yours looks SO good!!! I love the addition of coconut
That looks AWESOME!! I am so hunting down quinoa this weekend so I can make this…
I def. would have made this had I not wasted the last of my quinoa on quinoa milk! But, I’ll pick up some more
This looks wonderful, love the idea of using quinoa in granola.
I just told my mom about this granola recipe. Looks so good! Love how the ingredients are simple.
Love how you don’t have to boil the quinoa first!
