Pumpkin Apple Baked Quinoa

Pumpkin apple baked quinoa bakes in an hour for a delicious meal prep breakfast full of fall flavor. Serve warm or chilled with your favorite cozy toppings!

When I was visiting North Carolina this past summer my family surprised me with all sorts of plant-based baking!

My favorite was an Apple Baked Quinoa that my aunt made for our Sunday morning breakfast. 

It takes an hour to bake, so I recruited everyone for a family yoga session so we could stretch while it baked. 

We moved into tree and triangle while the oven filled the living room with the smell of baking cinnamon and apples. 

After savasana, we enjoyed the quinoa warm with nut butter, granola, and more baked apples. 

It was so delicious that I immediately started scheming of my own variation…one including pumpkin. 

This Pumpkin Apple Baked Quinoa bakes in under and hour for a delicious meal prep fall breakfast! 

Here’s What You Need to Make Pumpkin Apple Baked Quinoa

• ground flaxseed
• uncooked quinoa
• small to medium apples
• ground cinnamon
• unsweetened almond milk 
• pumpkin purée
• pure maple syrup 

That’s it!

How to Make It

Preheat the oven to 375ºF and add all of the ingredients to a baking pan. 

I love this Pumpkin Apple Baked Quinoa because you can mix everything up directly into the baking dish! 

Mix the contents with a spatula or spoon to roughly combine everything. 

Try to make sure that all of the quinoa is covered in the almond milk.

Now your work is done and you can let the oven take over!

Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake it for 60 – 70 minutes.

I highly recommend doing a yoga class with your family while it bakes, but you can do whatever you’d like with your free hour! 

The dish is done when the quinoa is completely cooked and all of the liquid has been absorbed. 

Allow the quinoa to cool for 10-15 minutes, then serve it in a bowl with your favorite toppings!

Here’s What You Need for Serving

• unsweetened almond milk
• No Sugar Added SunButter
• granola 

And whatever else you’d like to add!

I love adding almond milk, No Sugar Added SunButter, and granola. 

The addition of No Sugar Added SunButter adds rich creaminess and a boost of plant-based protein and healthy fats. 

I love to swirl it in with my spoon and get a little bit of SunButter with every bite! 

To make the recipe entirely nut-free, sub almond milk for another plant-based milk option like soy or coconut milk. 

How to Enjoy Pumpkin Apple Baked Quinoa

Enjoy this Pumpkin Apple Baked Quinoa as an easy one-dish breakfast. 

It’s perfect for a quick and cozy breakfast bowl as an alternative to oatmeal or granola. 

Because it makes ~4-6 servings, it’s perfect to make for meal prep or for a weekend breakfast to share. 

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

You can enjoy the leftovers chilled or heated in the microwave for ~60 seconds. 

Enjoy!
