Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups

Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast CupsThis post is possessed! It published itself yesterday, then deleted itself, then rescheduled itself to be posted in 2015. What the what?? Let’s try this again…

Normally, when bananas are about to go bad, I’ll peel them, slice ‘em up, and put them in a Ziploc bag in the freezer to use in smoothies. But lately my smoothie fuel bag has turned into bags, and I needed to find another way to prevent my browning bananas from going to waste. Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups

These quinoa breakfast cups are delicious and filling—each one is dense, so it only takes one (or, ok, maybe two) to satisfy morning hunger. You can eat them like a muffin, or break one up in a little bit of warm almond milk and eat it like oatmeal (I did this one morning and loved it!).Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups

Make a batch and eat them all week for breakfast or as a post-workout snack. They’re definitely best warm, but can also be eaten cold on the go. 🙂 Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups

Cinnamon Raisin Apple Oatmeal Bake

I’ve got a yummy one for you today! ‘Tis the season for apple and pumpkin everything so I’m sharing this cinnamon raisin apple oatmeal bake recipe. I wish I could say I was using apples that I picked myself this weekend but Joe vetoed that activity. “I’ll go to a pumpkin patch with you but I draw the line at apple picking.” WHATEVER JOE. Maybe I’ll recruit a girlfriend and come back here next Sunday with another (freshly-picked) apple recipe for you.

This apple oatmeal bake is easy, vegan, and if you want it to be gluten-free, just use GF oats. Because it’s packed with oats and apple chunks it’ll keep you feeling satisfied all morning long. That’s one of the reasons I just love oatmeal in all its forms—I eat it for breakfast and am not hungry again until lunch. It’s perfect if I know I have a busy morning teaching.

A note on choosing the right apple. You want one that’s on the crispier side so that it won’t turn into total mush when you bake it. If you want specific suggestions, I like to use one Granny Smith for its crisp, tart taste and then one sweeter apple like Honeycrisp or Braeburn.

Hope you all love this apple oatmeal bake as much as I do! I made a batch earlier this week and couldn’t stop eating it right out of the pan—sooo good. Then again, you could combine cinnamon, apples and maple syrup with just about anything and I’d love it. 😉
