Roasted Banana and Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients

• 4 medium Bananas
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Water
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1/4 cup Almonds, chopped
• 1 tbsp Chia Seeds

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the 4 medium Bananas, peel them, and cut each one in half lengthwise. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas with 1 tsp Cinnamon.
2. 2Place the prepared bananas on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and have a slightly caramelized appearance.
3. 3While the bananas are roasting, cook the quinoa. Combine 1 cup Quinoa and 2 cups Water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. 4Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water and is cooked through. Remove from heat.
5. 5Stir the 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract and 2 tbsp Maple Syrup into the cooked quinoa until well combined.
6. 6Divide the cinnamon-infused quinoa among four serving bowls.
7. 7Top each bowl of quinoa with two halves of the roasted bananas. Sprinkle the chopped 1/4 cup Almonds and 1 tbsp Chia Seeds over the bananas and quinoa.
