Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa flakes (I used Ancient Harvest brand) – you could sub oats but cooking time will be less*
- 1/2 ripe banana, mashed (if you don’t like banana, use another pureed or mashed fruit equal to 1/2 cup)
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened coconut milk (other milk could be subbed or use applesauce or yogurt)
- 1 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut, optional
- 1/2 tsp gluten free vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar, maple syrup or honey, optional for a sweeter variation
- Coconut oil for greasing baking dish (butter or ghee would work here)

Preparation
Step 1
1. In a small bowl, add in all ingredients and stir until well combined.
2. Grease a 16 oz microwave safe ramekin or bowl with coconut oil then add quinoa mixture to prepared dish. Press mixture in the ramekin and use fingers, fork or spoon to smooth out create an even surface.
If baking in the oven
Preheat oven to 350F, then place dish in oven and bake for 22-27 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly and then invert onto serving dish, garnish with toppings and enjoy!
If using quick microwave method
Place dish in the microwave and cook for 3 to 4 minutes (microwaves vary). The “bake” will slightly rise and will be more firm to touch and mixture will pull away from the sides of the baking dish. Be careful not to over cook or you will have a hard hockey puck that you will have to give to your dog. Let cool for one minute and then invert onto serving dish, garnish with toppings and enjoy!
