spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal can be a healthier egg alternative for binding.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease the bottom of a baking dish with a little oil to prevent sticking.

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 cup of quinoa, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and some cinnamon powder (about 1/2 teaspoon).

Add a couple of handfuls of frozen berries to the dry ingredients.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing well.

Sprinkle roughly chopped almonds over the top of the mixture.

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Let cool before slicing into 6 portions.
