Apple Crisp Quiona Bowl🍎
I’ve been on this eating healthy kick so I decided to finally try quinoa. This morning for breakfast I made me an apple crisp quinoa bowl. 🫶🏽✨
Ingredients
2 or 3 apples (I prefer the sweeter apples)
1/2 cup of quinoa
1 1/2 cup of milk of your choice or water
1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of monk fruit sugar
Chopped pecans
Honey honey
Granola (optional)
Coconut shavings (optional)
1) First start by cutting up your apples into smaller pieces.
2) Then combine your apples, milk or water, and quinoa into a small pot.
3) Bring the ingredients to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
4) After the ingredients have finished boiling, add cinnamon and stir.
5) Transferred to two bowls and add pecans and other desired toppings and top with honey.
Sidenote: Depending on how sweet you would like it to be, you may need to add more monk fruit sugar or adjust the amount of cinnamon. I am trying to avoid using too much sugar in my recipes and include healthier sweetener options.
Quinoa bowls have gained popularity due to their health benefits, being packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. The combination of apples and quinoa not only adds sweetness but also provides a great source of antioxidants and dietary fiber. This recipe utilizes monk fruit sugar, a popular alternative sweetener, ideal for those looking to reduce added sugars in their diet. Experimenting with various toppings can elevate this dish. Consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra fiber. Additionally, you can customize the flavor by incorporating spices like nutmeg or adding dried fruits for a different texture. This Apple Crisp Quinoa Bowl is not just a breakfast option but can be a satisfying snack or dessert, making it versatile for any meal. Let's not forget that quinoa is gluten-free and suitable for various dietary restrictions. This wholesome dish aligns perfectly with a balanced diet and is perfect for meal prep, allowing you to enjoy a nutritious breakfast throughout the week.
