Quinoa Fruit Bake

Make this dish the night before and reheat in the microwave, or whip it up fresh for a brunch. You’ll love the combination of sweet spices with soft quinoa interspersed with delicious fruit. If you like a good, fruit-heavy breakfast, don’t hesitate to double down on the berries or apples. Sweeter apple varieties provide a particularly delightful end result, so don’t be afraid to play!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. allspice
  • 1½ cups frozen berries
  • 1 apple, cubed
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped
  • ⅔ cup egg whites
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • ¼ cup agave nectar

Directions

  2. Toss uncooked quinoa with spices. Pour across bottom of the pan. Spread fruit and nuts over the top.
  3. Whisk together egg whites, milk, and nectar. Pour over fruit and quinoa and stir very gently.
  4. Bake for 1 hour, until casserole is mostly set. Serve warm.
