I really like Quinoa for breakfast. When I am trying to stay away from foods that are on my allergy list breakfast becomes really boring really quick. This past week I have come up with a couple new recipes after being inspired by pinterest.
Apple Overload
1/4 c quinoa rinsed very well
1/2 c apple cider or juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 apple diced into small pieces
1 Tbl apple butter*
1 tbl heavy whipping cream (optional)
In a small sauce pan over med heat combine quinoa apple cider and cinnamon, bring to a boil cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat stir in apple pieces and apple butter. Pour in to bowl and drizzle with heavy cream.
* If you do not have apple butter use 1 tbl unsweetened applesauce 2 tsp honey 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg.
