I know I'm crazy but this is my latest experiment and it was a success! The pie part comes from the seasonings by the way (sorry for your hopes) and the breakfast cake comes from its ease, texture and slight sweetness. It has three, healthy, base ingredient (pumpkin, quinoa and a banana) that will offer you a vegan way to get some protein into your day. Then the added spices will make your tummy and mouth say, "yum!" as they are greeted by the taste of pumpkin pie. So bake, eat, and enjoy the powerhouse of nutrition that's coming your way!
Behold the palatable, pleasurable, pumpkin!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quinoa cooked that was cooked in coconut milk (you could do just water but it might effect the taste, also make sure its only coconut milk, if it has stabilizers it won't cook right)
- 1 banana
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 dashes of salt
- 2 dashes of nutmeg
- 1 pinch of ginger
- optional toppings of pecans and cranberries to give you an extra boost of antioxidants and protein
1. mash banana and pumpkin together.(in a greased bowl if you want it to come out like above, or a mug)
2. stir in quinoa and the spices
3. zap in the microwave for roughly 5 minutes (more time = more of bread like consistency but sweeter)
4. let cool, top, eat and be merry!
