I love to have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, especially during the cold winter months. However, since I'm on the detox Daniel Plan, I can't have gluten right now. So I thought I'd try to substitute quinoa instead.
Quinoa is a great plant based protein so it helps fill you up and keep your blood sugar more stable. There are some different versions of quinoa at my local Aldi's but when looking at labels, they all have added sugar. Make sure to always read your labels to ensure that the products you are purchasing are actually Daniel Plan friendly.
Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
1 1/2 cups quinoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons nut butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut (optional)
walnuts, berries, additional milk
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add salt and quinoa. Simmer on low with lid on until water is absorbed (approx 20 minutes). Cool quinoa.
Preheat oven to 375. Grease 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add mixture to cooled quinoa. Stir in nut butter until combined. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with coconut.
Bake for 20 minutes until set (longer if you prefer a dryer bake). Cool and cut into 6 squares.
Serve with additional milk, chopped walnuts, and/or berries.
