Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rinsed quinoa, almond milk, honey, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
  3. Fold in the mixed berries and chopped nuts gently into the mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy warm or let it cool completely and refrigerate for later!

Notes

Tip: You can top each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of extra lemon zest for added flavor!

For added sweetness, consider mixing in some honey or maple syrup. You can also substitute the quinoa with oats for a different texture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast option.
