Quinoa Granola


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!

    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!

    Treat yourself to something fun this weekend – you’ve worked hard! I think a Moosewoods date would do 😉

    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 😀

    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!
