About

Perhaps I’ve strayed too far off the pastry path for some, but believe it or not, this quinoa concoction really does satisfy that sweet-tooth craving. Think carrot cake with a crunch, this simple cereal is more like granola in texture, while remaining a bit lighter and perfectly crisp all the way through. Pair with vegan yogurt to evoke the sweetness and gentle twang of cream cheese frosting, and you won’t miss the layers one bit. I do fully endorse eating cake for breakfast, no matter what
