This hearty quinoa breakfast bowl is topped with sliced almonds, bananas and almond butter, but you can easily mix and match toppings. For a drizzled look, warm the almond butter slightly in the microwave before topping each bowl.
Prep/Cook Time: 20 Minutes, Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 medium bananas, sliced
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup sliced almonds toasted
Directions
- Combine almond milk, quinoa, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Divide the quinoa among 4 bowls; top each evenly with banana slices, almond butter and sliced almonds. Sprinkle each with a little cinnamon, if desired.
