Maple Pecan Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
With the simple addition of toasted pecans, a pinch of ground cinnamon and a *generous* drizzle of maple syrup, your bowl of fiber-filled oatmeal goes from plain Jane to mall-style, Cinnabon status. Might sound lame, but damn is it good. It's sweet, it's comforting, it's simple and yet it's decadent and almost dessert-like. It's a must-make. Like nowish?

- 2 tablespoons coconut flour

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans chopped

Instructions
- Combine oats, quinoa flakes, coconut flour and water into a small sauce pan. Turn on medium high and bring to a boil.
