Spiced Apple and Quinoa Breakfast Bowl 🍎🥣

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 medium apple, diced
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
• Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, a drizzle of almond butter, or dried cranberries

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the milk is absorbed.
2. Sauté the apple: While the quinoa is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apple is softened and fragrant.
3. Combine: Stir the sautéed apples and maple syrup (if using) into the cooked quinoa. Mix well.
4. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the apple-quinoa mixture into a bowl. Top with walnuts, chia seeds, and any other desired toppings like yogurt or almond butter.
