Watch out, quinoa is not just for lunch anymore!  Give this quinoa breakfast recipe a try!  These can easily be made a head of time and reheated for a quick morning meal or served with a side of protein rich eggs.

Cinnamon Quinoa Bake
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups quinoa, cooked and cooled
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place the quinoa in a large mixing bowl.  Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan parchment paper.  Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2.  In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.  Add maple syrup or honey (if using) and whisk.
3.  Add egg mixture to cooked and cooled quinoa.  Stir with a large spoon to combine.  Pour into the parchment-lined baking dish and spread it around to ensure that it's even.
4.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set and golden.
5.  Using parchment, remove bake from pan as soon as possible so that it doesn't steam.
6.  Cool completely and cut into squares.  Serve with a dollop of nut butter.
