Discover nourishing spiced quinoa and chia seed breakfast rolls topped with a coconut glaze. Perfect for a healthy start to your day!
Ingredients
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • cooked quinoa: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • almond milk: 1 cup
- • maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • ground nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • coconut oil (melted): 1/4 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and maple syrup, and heat gently until warm (not hot). Stir in the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- 3 In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, cooked quinoa, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt.
- 4 Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture, then pour into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- 5 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- 6 Once risen, divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shape into rolls, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rise for another 10 minutes.
- 7 Brush the tops of the rolls with a little more coconut oil and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Spiced Quinoa and Chia Seed Breakfast Rolls pair beautifully with a warm cup of herbal tea or your favorite plant-based latte. For a heartier meal, serve them alongside a fresh fruit salad or a smoothie bowl topped with nuts and seeds for added crunch. For a touch of extra sweetness, you can drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the rolls just before serving, or pair them with a side of almond butter for a creamy contrast.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in the fridge for up to a week. To maintain their softness, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes before serving.
