June 12, 2011 by Leanne Vogel August 30, 2017

A light and summery quinoa flake breakfast bake filled with the taste of the tropics.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
• 1/4 cup mango puree [about 1/2 of a fresh mango]
• 1 egg – see note
• 1/4 banana, diced
• 2 tablespoon dried papaya, chopped
• 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

1. Prepare a 16oz. microwave safe dish by oiling with a dab of coconut oil. Set aside. Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Press mixture into prepared dish and even out with fork.
2. Microwave option: Place in the microwave and cook for 3 1/2 minutes. You’ll know when it’s done when it rises slightly, is harder to the touch, and pulls away from the sides of the dish. Don’t bake it too long, or you’ll have a Frisbee!
3. Oven option: Place in a preheated oven at 350F and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

to make vegan, omit egg and add 1/4 cup of extra mango puree.
