SUPER BREAKFAST APPLE AND QUINOA "OATMEAL"

Super Breakfast Apple and Quinoa

Delicious warm breakfast, or anytime treat, that tastes kinda like oatmeal but with a nuttier flavor that blends well with the apples. Packs a bigger punch of protein to keep you fuller longer than oatmeal. May drizzle a little extra half & half on cereal if desired.

Ingredients

1 apple, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)

Steps:

Place apple, sweetener, and apple pie spice in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until apple is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Add water if needed to keep apples from sticking. Mix quinoa and half-and-half into apple mixture; cook until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
