Banana Bread Quinoa

As I am in need of some new recipes, Im searching and searching for something simple to just throw in the oven and walk away!!  Something easy where I can throw ingredients together and not have a big mess... I mean I have kids and taking care of their mess is enough for me!! 

As Im prepping for my NPC Figure competition, I am trying to think of ingredients I can also incorporate in my diet for now.  

As I am looking around my kitchen, I notice my bananas are going bad, my Quinoa is almost gone, and I have a baggie of almonds sitting on my counter beside my bananas.... And this is what I came up with!!!

 BREAKFAST BANANA BREAD QUINOA

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup uncooked Quinoa

1/2 cup almond milk

1 cup water

1 banana

1/4 cup raw almonds (sliced)

1/8 cup raisins

1 tbsp light brown sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Take 3/4 of banana and mush with spoon in small bowl and set aside.

Mix all other ingredients together and pour into no stick dish (I used a medium rectangle dish)

Take mushed banana and combine into mixture

Bake for 35 min

Let cool for 5 min before eating

Top off with rest of banana sliced

ENJOY!!

Since I am currently doing the home fitness programs INSANITY MAX 30 as my morning cardio and my weight training is BODY BEAST, I am giving myself a little leeway with having the 1/2 banana and small amount of raisins and brown sugar.. After 2 weeks, I will cut out all fruit and most sugar :)
