Caramel Apple Quinoa (Clean Eating)



This is a fun idea for a fun healthy Fall Breakfast. It tastes wonderful. You can make the caramel while the quinoa is cooking. You could do this with oatmeal too. This tastes so good you could even have it for dessert. 


Caramel
1 C canned coconut milk (full fat)
5 T honey
2 T coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla

Directions

1. In a small sauce pan on medium heat. Pour in milk, honey, and oil.
2. I turned up my setting on my stove up to 6. I stayed stirring it the whole time. Not wanting it to burn. Keep stirring. It took mine about 15 min to thicken.3. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla. It will thicken as it cools. 

Quinoa

1 C washed quinoa
2 T coconut oil
1 C almond milk
1 C water
2 chopped up apples

Directions  Serves 4

1. Pour washed quinoa and oil into a sauce pan. Turn on to medium heat and stir and toast the quinoa until a light golden. 
2. Pour in the milk, water and honey and cinnamon. Stir until all combined. Bring mixture to a low boil. Turn down the heat and cook on low about 20-30 min. The mixture will be thick and the quinoa will be cooked. 
3. Take off the heat and serve. Top with some caramel and apples on each bowl. Add some additional almond milk on top if desired.
