Maple pumpkin quinoa with pecans is a healthy, delicious, and filling breakfast for fall, or any time of the year.

Maple Pumpkin Pecan Quinoa - A hearty, healthy, hot breakfast cereal that's perfect for fall or winter weather. Recipe on basilmomma.com

A few years ago I shared this to a lot of happy campers online.  There were a lot of great responses, so I thought I would share it again.  One of my favorite ingredients to use in this hot cereal is pure maple syrup from Indiana. I get it from Burton’s, and I think it makes the quinoa a bit more sweet and decadent.

Quinoa is one of those super-healthy foods that’s so delicious and easy to prepare, you wonder why you don’t eat it more often.  Packed with protein, fiber and minerals, it makes a great (and gluten-free) breakfast!  Though it is considered a whole grain, quinoa is actually a protein-rich seed.  It makes a great alternative to oatmeal in the morning!

I hope you love this easy breakfast recipe for maple pumpkin quinoa!
