Unconventional Breakfast Delight: Sweet and Savory Quinoa Bowl Recipe

Breakfast Surprise: Sweet and Savory Quinoa Bowl

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful breakfast recipe that combines sweet and savory elements for a delicious start to your day. This Sweet and Savory Quinoa Bowl is a favorite of mine during the colder months when I crave a warm and filling meal to kickstart my mornings.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• quinoa (100g)
• milk (200ml)
• apple, diced (1 medium)
• bacon, cooked and crumbled (50g)
• raisins (30g)
• maple syrup (15ml)
• cinnamon (1/2 tsp)

To prepare this Sweet and Savory Quinoa Bowl, start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the milk is absorbed.

Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the diced apple, crumbled bacon, raisins, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine all the flavors. Allow the mixture to heat through for a few minutes until the apple is slightly softened.

Serve the Sweet and Savory Quinoa Bowl in a bowl and drizzle with an extra touch of maple syrup for sweetness. The combination of the warm quinoa, savory bacon, sweet apple, and cinnamon creates a delicious and satisfying breakfast dish that will keep you full until lunchtime.

For kitchen tools, you will need:

This Sweet and Savory Quinoa Bowl recipe yields approximately 400g of cooked dish, enough for 2 servings. Each serving is around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the quinoa mixture before serving. The salt enhances the flavors of the sweet and savory ingredients, creating a well-balanced bite in every spoonful.
