Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Want to make it even fresher? Top with coconut and fresh raspberries once it’s out of the oven.
  • tip 2
    If you’ve got a little extra time in the evening before you plan to serve this breakfast, separate all of the ingredients in advance, but don’t combine them with the quinoa. It will soak up the liquid and baking times will vary.
