Quinoa.
It’s a weird name, but it makes a great breakfast.
Especially when it’s warm and hot and topped with peanut butter.
See where I’m going with this? The peanut butter gets all melty.
Then you top it with some apples and call it breakfast.
Are you with me?
Apple and Peanut Butter Breakfast Quinoa
makes 2 lucky people a great bowl of break-y
1/2 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
3/4 cup light coconut milk (canned)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash of salt
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 and apple, diced *
1 tablespoons pecans
In a small saucepan bring quinoa, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg vanilla, and salt to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 15 minutes. Using a fork, fluff the the quinoa very gently.
Divide the quinoa amongst the two bowls. Top with peanut butter, apples and pecans. Drizzle extra milk on top if you’d like. Then get out your spoon.
*I microwaved my apple chunks for a minute just to soften them

omg PB + apples! Why have I never thought of this for breakfast before!?
This bowl of quinoa looks perfect. And with fall apples just around the corner, I can’t wait to make this the first meal of my day. Thank you for sharing!
I just had peanut butter and an apple this AM for my breakfast too. I didn’t have quinoa to go with it, but it is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Looks like a very yummy breakfast my dear!
Is it against the rules to have this tonight for dinner?
Not at all!
I am loving this end of summer almost fall breakfast. Just what I need when I long for cooler temperatures but don’t want to let summer go.
I’ve had candied walnuts and blueberries mixed into quinoa for breakfast before, but now I need to try this, yum!
I have never had quinoa for breakfast before. But anything with melty peanut butter sounds good to me!
Luuurve quinoa for breakfast. This version sounds so good. I’m actually making one tomorrow morning with blueberries and peaches and hazelnuts and yum!

I frequently have pb and apples for breakfast! I’m going to have to try this soon!
MMMM. Need this! I’m totally making this for breakfast this weekend! There are SO many options!
I have a recipe just like this on my blog that I posted back in the spring — too funny… Or is it? Quinoa and peanut butter may be the best combination, like.. Ever.
Melty peanut butter sounds pretty good.
We love quinoa, I think we might try this somethime.
Thanks.
I really love apples and I think will love this recipe. Think of apples as little multivitamins. They contain a lot of what your body needs to stay healthy. The benefits are plentiful
This looks and sounds amazing! I can’t wait to make it this week!
