APPLE CINNAMON QUINOA BREAKFAST BOWLS

Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowls are the coziest way to begin your morning this autumn and winter. A terrific opportunity on your normal bowl of oatmeal.

The extremely good debate. Apple or pumpkin for fall? I truely like both, but tend to gravitate more toward apple, that is why I’m sharing these Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowls before the first pumpkin recipe of the season. Don’t fear, the pumpkin is coming next week.

So, why quinoa as opposed to oatmeal for breakfast? There’s some reasons I decided to strive it out. firstly, every so often you just need to exchange up your habitual. Oatmeal is outstanding, but like everything eaten mechanically, every so often you simply want some thing a bit specific.
