4 tbsp Flax or chia seed, milled
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Nutmeg
2 Apples, diced
3 Eggs
4 cups Milk (or alternative milk of choice)

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a casserole dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix the quinoa, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour into casserole dish. Spread diced apples on top.
Using the same medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and maple syrup. Pour over the apples and quinoa, making sure the egg mixture spreads evenly and covers the apples.
