Description

A sweet and creamy breakfast quinoa bowl, topped with oven roasted bananas and grapefruit and topped with cinnamon and almonds!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup dry quinoa
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 grapefruit (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 banana (peeled and sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • Agave nectar
  • Extra cinnamon and cane sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. To caramelize the fruit: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sliced grapefruit and bananas on the sheet, spreading them evenly. Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the fruit. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until fruit has started to caramelize. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. While the fruit is baking, prepare the quinoa. In a small saucepan over medium high heat, whisk together the quinoa, coconut milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer (medium-low) and let cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and divide evenly between 2 bowls, topping with additional coconut milk, agave nectar, caramelized fruit and sliced almonds. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you want to get a creamier texture, add a bit more coconut milk after cooking. I also highly recommend drizzling on your agave after cooking and sweetening to taste!
