A Healthy Breakfast Idea: Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal with Peaches and Toasted Pecans

Ah, winter. It’s a season that inspires us to eat more hot, comforting meals like soups and stews. But what about breakfast? If you’ve been defaulting to a bowl of oatmeal, consider changing things up a bit with this tasty breakfast recipe: Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal with Peaches and Toasted Pecans. (Yum!)

We love quinoa because it is so versatile—you can enjoy it in a savoury salad or sweetened, as it is in this recipe. It also packs a big nutritional punch and is a great source of protein. If you’re crunched for time on busy mornings, you can easily whip up a batch of this breakfast quinoa on a Sunday to enjoy later—it will last in your fridge (tightly sealed) for two or three days. Not a fan of peaches and pecans? Add your favourite berries and nuts to suit your family’s taste. It’s a great breakfast on the go.

What you’ll need:

• Light brown sugar

• Cinnamon

• Quinoa

• Pure vanilla extract

• Orange zest
