This vegan and gluten free fall breakfast bake is such a healthy way to start your day! Made with only 9 ingredients that evoke warm and cozy autumn vibes . An easy breakfast to add to your menu!
When it comes to fall baking, I feel like pears get the short end of the stick. They just don’t get the love that apples and pumpkin do. So this fall I’m going to do my best to incorporate all the fruits and veggies of this glorious harvest season!
First up is an easy make ahead breakfast that will definitely warm up your mornings! With a hint of spice from the chai tea, but not too much. Just enough for a fun fall flavor. Of course some cinnamon, a sprinkle of nutmeg and ginger. Along with some diced ripe and juicy pears. I didn’t officially add raisins to this recipe, but don’t be afraid to throw some of those on top! They would be a perfect combo together with the pecans.
Like I mentioned before, you can prep this dish easily ahead of time and have it ready for the week. Or serve it fresh on a slow weekend morning. Maybe along with scrambled eggs (if you aren’t vegan). Either way, the quinoa provides a great source of protein and is naturally gluten free. So cheers to that!
*Toppings can vary but here are some of my favorites!
dairy free yogurt
nut butters
raisins
fruit (blueberries, bananas, fresh figs)
maple syrup
