dit Quinoa Breakfast Bake is a delicious one-pan gluten-free breakfast casserole packed with vegan proteins from quinoa and a delicious sweet flavor. If you are gluten-free or bored of vegan baked oatmeal recipes, try this quinoa bake instead.
I love making simple and healthy plant-based breakfasts that you can meal prep. I’m busy in the morning so I don’t always have time to make a complicated recipe. This quinoa bake can be made on a Sunday for a whole week of healthy brekkies.
This breakfast quinoa bake is a sweet one-pan breakfast made of quinoa, banana, and berries. Like vegan baked oatmeal, such as my High Protein Baked Oats or Strawberry Baked Oatmeal, it’s packed with protein and slow-release carbs but it’s 100% gluten-free.

Quinoa Breakfast Bake
Bestanddele
- 2 ryp Banana
- ¼ koppie Grondboontjiebotter (Ongesoute)
- 2 eetlepels Chia sade
- 1 koppie Quinoa - uncooked, white or red
- 2 koppies Onversoete amandelmelk - warm
- ½ teelepel Kaneel
- 2 koppies Gemengde bessies - vars of bevrore
instruksies
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C). Slightly oil a 9-inch x 11-inch baking pan.
- Peel the bananas, place them in the baking pan and mash them roughly until they are smooth and a puree-like texture forms.
- Add chia seeds, peanut butter, cinnamon, quinoa, and half the amount of frozen berries.
- Microwave almond milk for 2 minutes until hot or warm over medium heat in a non-stick saucepan until a light simmer forms.
- Pour the hot milk gently all over the pan and stir well to evenly combine all the ingredients into the baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining frozen berries on top of the pan. Cover pan with foil – optional but this decreases baking time and prevents the recipe from drying out too fast.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until quinoa is baked. You can bake it longer if you prefer a dryer texture. It's up to you. It should be golden brown on top, slightly moist but not jiggly in the center.
- Cool down in the pan for 1 hour then serve lukewarm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dust of cinnamon, or almond milk/yogurt for extra moisture.
stoor
- Store the remaining baked quinoa in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, in its baking pan, wrapped with plastic wrap to prevent the from drying. You can also freeze this in an airtight container and thaw it in the fridge the day before.
- Rewarm one serve in the microwave, in a microwave-safe breakfast bowl, until lukewarm.

Bestanddele en vervangings
- Ongekookte Quinoa – you can use any quinoa variety including white quinoa or red quinoa or a combination of both.
- Piesangs – ripe piesangs add a delicious sweet flavor but yellow bananas work.
- Grondboontjiebotter - Gebruik natuurlike grondboontjiebotter for added proteins or any vegan yogurt you like. You can also decrease saturated fat by using almond butter or sun butter as a nut-free option.
- Chia sade – this is a key ingredient both for its nutritional profile and to make the bake hold together.
- Esdoringstroop – I prefer classic esdoringstroop but any other liquid sweetener such as coconut nectar or brown rice syrup. It’s optional if you don’t want to add sugar to the baked quinoa oatmeal.
- Kaneel – vir geur.
- Sout – optional if peanut butter is salted.
- Vanielje-ekstrak – vir geur.
- Korrels – frozen berries or fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or boysenberries
- Warm Almond Milk – or oat milk for a nut-free option.
You can tweak this recipe to create a range of breakfast flavors by adding some different fruits. For example, swap the berries for:
- Diced Mango – and use coconut milk for a tropical breakfast.
- Gekapte Appels – and boost cinnamon to turn this into an apple cinnamon quinoa bake with fall flavors.
You can also add some of the below ingredients to boost:
- soet – stir in 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips and sprinkle a few more on top of the dish before baking.
- Protein – stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite plant-based vanilla protein powder or powdered peanut butter.
- tekstuur – stir in 1/3 cup of shredded coconut or chopped almonds or pumpkin seed for a little crunch.
Present
Slice the recipe into squares and serve in a porridge bowl topped with some of the following topping ideas:
- Drizzle of Maple Syrup
- Extra Berries
- Amandelmelk
- Chopped Nuts like peanut or almonds
- Geknipte klapper
- Sjokoladeskyfies
- Grondboontjiebotter
How Does It Taste?
This recipe tastes like baked quinoa oatmeal minus the oats, of course, but it has a similar moist texture with fruity flavors that I love in baked oatmeal recipes. The quinoa is very fulfilling and adds a delicious nutty flavor to the dish.
Allergie-ruilings
I listed some ideas to make this recipe if you have some of the allergies below. Feel free to adapt this berry quinoa breakfast bake based on your food allergies.
- Neutvry – Swap the peanut butter for vegan yogurt or sun butter. Also, replace the almond milk with coconut milk or oat milk.
- Suiker vrye – You can skip the added sweetener and use unsweetened apple sauce instead of banana for lower sugar content. Two mashed bananas are equivalent to about 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce.

Love all your recipes. This is a great one. I am always up for substituting quinoa in. A regular dish in our rotation. Thank you!!!
Dankie!
Hello, I have some leftover cooked white quinoa, would it work or has to be uncooked?
It won’t work with this recipe, because the ratio of liquid is for uncooked quinoa. You will have more success using my gebakte hawermout resep, swap some of the oats for the cooked quinoa.
This was great! So nice to have an alternative to oatmeal bakes. Loved that it was sugar-free too. This is going into the rotation.
Made this for the first time today and it is great! A few substitutions as suggested above – I toasted the quinoa first, I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce instead of bananas. I had to use an 8 x 8″ pan and everything fit fine (but maybe that’s because applesauce is less bulky than banana?). I will definitely be making this recipe again!
Could I assemble all ingredients the night before and then bake in the morning?
It will probably work but might be drier because soaking the grains means it will absorb some liquid overnight.
Can I leave out bananas or replace it with some thing else?
You need a binder like banana, unsweetened applesauce, mashed sweet potato puree or pumpkin puree.
This looks really good and simple. I don’t have a 9*11 pan. Would the recipe work in 8*8 pan?
Your pan is 30% less big so it won’t fit
Apologies, my mistake! Re read and #4 direction is clear.,did not see the microwave or saucepan and neglected to read full explanation. Just skipped to recipe. My mistake

Yes, I warm the milk fort it cook the quinoa faster in the oven!
Hi! This looks great.A switch up from oats. A tad confused about #4 direction. Do you microwave milk first then add to saucepan. I am thinking all saucepan.
Thanks for your clarification and all your delicious recipes
Enjoy, Robin m
Ridiculously delicious! Adding to my regular rotation and will add some chopped walnuts next time. Kept me full for hours!! Bravo ❤️
Thank you so much!
