Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Breakfast Bake

Serves: 8–12
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 50–55 minutes
Total Time: ~1 hour

It’s like eating dessert for breakfast—but it’s secretly healthy. I love eating this with yogurt and fruit, as breakfast, a snack or a dessert! My 6 year old son begs me to make this! If you're looking for a breakfast that feels indulgent but fuels you with whole foods, fiber, and plant-based protein, this one's a winner. Easy prep--just dump and go, oil-free, and loaded with rich chocolate-peanut butter flavor, this quinoa bake is perfect for meal prep, brunch, or even an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups uncooked quinoa (rinsed very well)

  • 4 cups plant-based milk

  • â…” cup maple syrup or date syrup (adjust to taste)

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 6 tbsp PB2 (or 4 tbsp natural peanut butter)

  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, adds fiber + helps bind)

  • 4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, but adds warmth)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Optional toppings:

  • PB drizzle

  • Banana slices

  • High-protein plant-based yogurt

  • Extra chocolate chips (no judgment)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Lightly grease or line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  3. Add all ingredients to the baking dish:

    • Rinsed quinoa

    • Plant-based milk

    • Maple syrup

    • Cocoa powder

    • PB2 or peanut butter

    • Ground flaxseed

    • Vanilla extract

    • Cinnamon & salt

    • Chocolate chips

  4. Stir or whisk well in the dish, making sure the cocoa powder dissolves and everything is evenly combined.

  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50–55 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and the bake is soft and set.

  6. Remove foil and let rest uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken and cool slightly.

  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or chill and enjoy it cold straight from the fridge. It’s delicious either way!

Pro Tip: Make it once and divide into single portions to reheat throughout the week—or double the batch and freeze extras! It’s a crowd-pleaser for adults and kids alike.
