A light and summery quinoa flake breakfast bake filled with the taste of the tropics.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup quinoa flakes
  • ¼ cup mango puree [about ½ of a fresh mango]
  • 1 egg *see note
  • ¼ banana, diced
  • 2 tablespoon dried papaya, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ⅛ teaspoon almond extract
Optional toppings
Instructions
  1. Prepare a 16oz. microwave safe dish by oiling with a dab of coconut oil. Set aside. Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Press mixture into prepared dish and even out with fork.
  2. Microwave option: Place in the microwave and cook for 3½ minutes. You’ll know when it’s done when it rises slightly, is harder to the touch, and pulls away from the sides of the dish. Don’t bake it too long, or you’ll have a Frisbee!
  3. Oven option: Place in a preheated oven at 350F and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
To make vegan, omit egg and add ¼ cup of extra mango puree.
