Except, this bowl is gluten-free and protein-packed due to quinoa flakes, gives you a dose of vegetables to start your day, sweet and cinnamony, all in one microwavable breakfast for one! No need to dirty a loaf pan of wait 40 minutes to bake an entire loaf of bread!

How to make zucchini bread quinoa flakes
All you need is six ingredients and a microwave!
- Quinoa Flakes
- Flax Seed
- Zucchini
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla Extract
- Brown Sugar-Style Sweetener
- Water (this doesn't count!)
Mix everything up in a microwave-safe bowl and cook it on high for just about 2 minutes! It's that easy and quick! You can top your bowl with whatever you'd like. Just like gluten-free instant oatmeal (but easier on the stomach and safer for celiacs). Some people like raisins in their zucchini bread so that would make a great topping option. Whole nuts, seeds, or butters also work, depending on your food allergy needs!
