I have a weird obsession with gingerbread men this time of year. I have not eaten anything gingerbread in years, though! Not one single gingerbread man since I have been gluten-free (over 4 years). The only time I ever did eat anything gingerbread was a few cookies during Christmas time. But I have always just loved them and I am not really sure why. My grandma always had the best soft gingerbread men set out on the dessert table at our Christmas Eve party. I looked forward to them every year! I am not even a big ginger fan, so I’m not sure why I loved them so much! And come to think of it, I have no gingerbread recipes on the blog…until today. And what better way to create my first gingerbread recipe than to make it in the form of quinoa flakes! One of my favorite breakfasts to start the day with!

    Oooh what a clever use of quinoa flakes. I will admit to making them almost the same time every time I make them (cocoa & almond butter – like a big almond butter cup bowl haha). I will definitely be trying these next time!

    HI Rebecca,
    This sure looks like a breakfast or anytime meal that would make any day special – especially with the chocolate in it. Pinned & tweeted!

    What a coincidence. I have Pinterest board for quinoa recipes and one for ginger too. I’ll admit that I don’t usually do anything but yogurt for breakfast, but this bowl intrigues me – for obvious reasons 🙂 Happy Holidays.

    My sister is on a gluten free/paleo diet because of skin issues and I think I’m going to pass this blog post on to her! Are any of the recipes paleo? My sister should be able to tell but I figured I’d ask! Thanks so much for posting this awesome long list!
