This morning I couldn’t wait to start Sari’s Sugar Detox so I cooked up  a breakfast recipe that was inspired by the Couldn’t Be Pareve website. I omitted the sugar and replaced it with a little bit of honey.  This recipe is gluten free, soy-free, and vegan. I really enjoyed this warm nutty quinoa. It really made me feel like I was finally giving myself a great start to a long day. You may have to play around with the amount of cinnamon or honey that you prefer, but feel free to add a variety of fruits or ground flax seed. This quinoa recipe is large enough for at least 2 people so make sure to share it with a family member or just cut the recipe in half.

I can’t guarantee that your kids will say that it tastes as good as a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but you can give it a try! Enjoy ! Marlene

Warm Breakfast Quinoa With Almond Butter and Cinnamon:

kosher recipe ingredients:

• 1/2 cup apple sauce
• 1/4 cup water or almond milk
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1/2 tablespoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• dried fruit and nuts for topping
• honey for topping (optional)

Combine the first five ingredients (apple sauce through cinnamon) in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the almond butter and honey are melted and the mixture is hot. Add the quinoa and stir until hot. Divide between two bowls and top with dried fruits and nuts. Drizzle with honey if desired.
