The other great thing about these flakes is how fast they cook, just a couple of minutes. Start to finish this breakfast bowl takes just 5 minutes to prepare.

Combine non dairy milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add chopped bananas and quinoa flakes and return to a boil. Cook for two minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, cool briefly and transfer to bowl. Add desired toppings and enjoy!

variations

This recipe can easily be changed to suit your particular tastes and eating preferences.

  • Fruit: Try swapping banana for berries like strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, etc.

  • Toppings: Try different combinations of nuts or seeds, nut butters, additional fruit and syrups.

storage

Leftovers can be stored in a container in the refrigerator and reheat the next day. Add additional non dairy milk as needed to thin to desired consistency.
