A little about your chef...

My name is Mackenzie and I'm a college student in St. Louis, MO. I've always had a passion for cooking and baking but being in college has made it a bit of a challenge! Hope you enjoy these recipes!

Cinnamon Quinoa Bake


This is perfect for breakfast or a midmorning snack. It's even better with jam spread over the top and a cup of coffee!

Makes 9-12 bars

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled (1 cup dry)
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and place the cooked quinoa in a large mixing bowl. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with lightly greased parchment.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, soy milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Add maple syrup 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 20 to 25 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. Delicious when warmed in the microwave and jam spread on top.
