Foodie CornerBreakfast during passover can be a bit of a challenge..unless it’s Matzoh Brei (and although it is delicious, it’s not exactly a health food.) But the ladies from the wonderful food blog, mayihavethatrecipe.com, have come up something that is not only healthy, but yummy as well. Make it the night before so it will be ready and waiting for you at breakfast.

Here’s what they’re saying about their Granola: Yes, we’re talking Passover already. Of course it doesn’t feel like it’s coming, since we just got hit yet again with another snow storm. But whether spring decides to put its foot down and push winter out of the way or not, Passover is rapidly approaching.
So we’re starting to plan already. And this year, we wanted to create gluten-free Passover recipes, just to switch it up a little. And even though eating gluten free during passover isn’t the most difficult thing to do, it can get challenging, since a lot of products and recipes call for matzah, matzah meal and other gluten containing ingredients.
Personally, we find breakfast to be one of the most challenging meals during Passover. Especially trying to make it somewhat nutritious!
Well, once again, quinoa to the rescue. This tiny little power house is actually considered a seed and is also kosher for Passover. Great alternative to people who don’t eat rice during the holiday. And so versatile, that can even be made into granola. As we did in this recipe.
Enjoy it with milk, almond milk or yogurt as part of your breakfast, or just by itself as a healthy snack.
Definitely healthier than all that other sugary stuff
Enjoy!
