Cinnamon Quinoa Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF and place the quinoa in a large mixing bowl. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with lightly greased parchment. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, soy milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Add maple syrup (if using) and whisk. Add egg mixture to cooked and cooled quinoa. Stir with a large spoon to combine. Pour into the parchment-lined baking dish and spread it around to ensure that it’s even. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set and golden. Using parchment, remove bake from pan as soon as possible so that it doesn’t steam. Cool completely and cut into squares. Serve with a dollop of nut butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large cast-iron skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of coconut oil over medium-low heat. Add the diced apples and let caramelize slightly, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the apples from the skillet and set aside.
• Melt the remaining teaspoon of coconut oil in the skillet, then add the quinoa and cook until it is well browned and smells toasty, about 10 minutes.
• Return the apples to the skillet, along with the walnuts. Stir to combine, then remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the skillet with the apple quinoa mixture. Arrange the sliced apple on top in a decorative pattern.
• Bake for 1 hour, until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
