Sweet Quinoa Pizza

Sweet Quinoa PizzaYou saw my last quinoa pizza recipe right? Did you try it? ‘Cause how much easier can it get to make pizza dough? I mean, just boil some quinoa then process with water and bake. Easy-peasy. I have wanted to make a sweet pizza for a very long time, but I just never wanted to break out the flour and rolling-pin for crust. It was just too much trouble. But quinoa crust? So easy that I knew it was time. And it’s the perfect pizza you can enjoy for breakfast or dessert!

I love pizza like any other person … and sandwiches. How do those two things correlate? Well crusty goodness and sweet treats. Meaning you are going to take the awesomeness of a sweet peanut butter sandwich and slather that all over a pizza crust. And not just any pizza crust, but a quinoa crust. I made my own sweet almond butter for the “sauce” and sliced apples super-thin with my mandolin – carefully I might add – no cuts please. I just can’t get over how easy it is to do this crust. Again, I spread it out super-thin on my smallest baking sheet covered with oily parchment paper. You can use whatever fruity toppings you like, but since I am so wanting Fall and cooler weather to get here I was in an apple mood. Hope you enjoy!
