If you’re looking for other quinoa breakfast ideas, I have a sweet berry recipe using a special vanilla spice sugar that you’ll def want to check out.

But for now, let me show you how simple and sweet this pumpkin spice fall quinoa breakfast is!

What Do I Need To Make This?

You will need quinoa of any color. I highly encourage you to buy pre-washed quinoa to save time.

Quinoa has a natural film layer called saponin which can make the quinoa taste bitter or soapy. So if you do buy regular quinoa, make sure you rinse thoroughly before cooking.

You will also need plant-based milk. To make this healthy and dairy free, I use (gluten free) oat milk, Oatly.

You will also need some flavors. For this special fall breakfast quinoa we are making this pumpkin spice flavored! Using pumpkin spice, cloves, and cinammon.

Topping this off we will use fresh bananas, walnuts, almonds, and any other nuts you’d like. Pumpkin seeds and flax seeds are other great options!

How Is This Fall Quinoa Breakfast Healthy?

This breakfast quinoa recipe has super simple ingredients and they’re all natural. I also have a gluten sensitivity so I tend to choose gluten-free things.

Quinoa is naturally gluten-free (which is funny marketing that they put “gluten-free” on the label. I only bought this brand because it was pre-washed.)
Our only sweetener is honey (I love to use local honey)
Our only toppings are fruits, nuts, and seeds
