    I am happy to have Kristy from Southern in Law here with us today to share a Banana Quinoa Breakfast Bake.

    Why hello there!
    My name is Kristy and I blog over at Southern In-Law. I was delighted when Wendy asked if I’d consider guest posting on Cooking Quinoa and I quickly got my thinking cap on as I’m a quinoa addict!

    At the moment, I’m quite time poor as I’m managing a busy blog and a busy business and I thought I’d throw in a wedding to top things off! (October 12 is fast approaching, let me tell you!) Breakfast bakes have become a staple for me as they’re a quick and easy breakfast that I can eat on the run or quickly devour at home – I like to top them with some nut butter, but you can eat them however you fancy!

    I’m a bit of a breakfast bake recipe queen and constantly creating new variations, but here is one of my new favourites – Banana Quinoa Breakfast Bakes! This recipe can be adapted to suit your needs – whether you need a gluten free version, vegan version or whole wheat version and they’re also low in fat and sugar free – oh, and did I mention delicious? I like to make mine in big batches so I can defrost one overnight for breakfast the next morning – that way all you have to do is add some toppings and dig in! If you prefer, you can make these into muffins or even pancakes!
