Quinoa has become a breakfast-bowl favorite, and for good reason: This flavorful whole grain is filling and cooks in just 20 minutes which makes it a nice alternative to oats. Here it’s prepared for big-time comfort with caramelized apples, brown sugar, and butter and will allow you to celebrate the flavors of fall anytime of year. Have fun with this recipe and explore your color options for this easy breakfast by using red quinoa instead of the traditional white variety. Or mix it up with different apples: Tart, glossy green Granny Smith or sweet Red Delicious varieties will give you different looks, flavors, and textures.
