apple quinoa breakfast bake and edison grainery giveaway

I would like to introduce you to Edison Grainery!  They are a local company that provides a beautiful selection of
organic grains, beans, pastas, and much more.  You have to go check out their website and browse through all of their whole grains.  They also have a great assortment of pastas, as well as their exclusive quinoa crispies!  They graciously sent me a
box full of some their products.  Quite generous indeed.  I love trying new gluten free baking goodies.  Makes me happy, especially when they are high quality and organic.  I was so excited to try out a new gluten free recipe…featuring Edison Grainery products!

A good, hearty breakfast is essential.  It is the perfect way to start the day.  Now, I’m not the best at always eating a balanced breakfast in the morning…but when I do, I feel amazing!  Today I’m sharing a delicious, filling breakfast bake that is full of flavor.  I used Edison Grainery organic quinoa and amaranth flakes.  Both are packed with protein and fiber.  I added freshly grated apples and cinnamon, which is one of my favorite flavor combinations.  The sweetness comes from the ripe mashed banana and pure maple syrup too.  Make a double batch of apple quinoa breakfast bake and you’re set for the week!  The leftovers reheat very nicely too.  A hearty breakfast that will feed your very hungry family on these chilly fall mornings.
