You Can Do Anything With Quinoa…Even Make French Toast!

Ok, so this recipe find is proof to me that you can pretty much make ANYTHING with quinoa. I mean, I haven’t seen any quinoa ice cream…YET…but otherwise…

So this dish is awesome for breakfast, lunch or dinner and fantastic for all my gluten-free followers. Just as a refresher, quinoa is high in protein and fiber and contains NO wheat. To be fair, I would definitely pour some maple syrup on these, or add more cinnamon and honey, because for those who expect their french toast to be super sweet, this one is not. What it is however, is hearty and healthy and just about any fruit can be sliced and diced on top of it. These are the ingredients I used shown below. As I have mentioned before, you do not have to use the same brands I use, it is just a general idea.

And the recipe is as follows;

Quinoa French Toast

1 egg, whole

2 egg whites

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tbsp. honey

1 tbsp. coconut oil

1/4 cup almond milk

1 and 1/4 cup cooked quinoa

Heat the oven to 375F. Spray down an 8×8 cooking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the quinoa as directed. In a separate bowl, Whisk together the eggs and all the other ingredients. When the quinoa is done, add it to that bowl, stir ingredients together and then add everything into the pan. Cook for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes or so, then cut it up and enjoy with your favorite fruit and some maple syrup. If you are watching your sugars you could add a little almond or peanut butter or just eat it plain.
