These quinoa and beans breakfast buns are a healthy and tasty way to start your day! Packed with plant-based protein they’re soft, filling and full of flavor. Whether you’re in a rush or sitting down for a relaxed morning these buns are perfect. Made with quinoa, beans and simple ingredients they’re a smart twist on regular bread and great for kids and adults both.
Versatile Plant Based Recipe
I prefer more plant based food than meat or poultry. When I find simple and creative ways to enjoy a plant based recipe, it feels really good. These days many people are becoming health conscious and looking for high protein options to add to their diet. That’s why these breakfast buns are a perfect way to start your day. They’re protein rich and keep you full for longer. You can enjoy them as they are with a cup of coffee, turn them into a burger with some fresh veggies or eat them any way you like. They’re tasty, healthy and super versatile.
Store in Fridge or Bake Fresh
I usually make this breakfast bun in a batch of 10–12 and store them in the fridge. They easily last for 6–7 days. I personally don’t prefer using frozen food so I recommend storing any leftovers dough in the fridge for only 2-3 days and baking them fresh afterward otherwise, the taste may change. In my opinion, It’s better to bake them in small batches so you can enjoy freshly baked buns every time.
