The best thing about this breakfast bake, is that it moonlights as a delicious a la mode dessert! It’s also quick and simple to throw together, great to prep the night before and just wake and bake. I love the natural sweetness of the fruit and maple combo’ed with the nutty crunchiness from the walnuts and oats. Match made in breakfast heaven.

If you follow my recipes, you also know I love to sneak in extra nutrition whenever earthly possible. That’s where the quinoa comes in to this recipe. You can hardly tell it’s in there but you’re consuming all the goodness that quinoa provides. Quinoa is high in fiber, gluten-free, contains all essential amino acids (aka high in protein), magnesium, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, and even vitamin E. Get in my belly!

I use this Vegetable & Fruit Chopper all the time, it is such a time saver! For this recipe I used the medium cube blade to cut my apples.
