Heat up the butter in a pan on medium heat and sauté the apples and cinnamon for 2 minutes. Add in a pinch of salt and the syrup, and simmer for another minute or 2. Set aside.

Spray a casserole dish with non stick cooking spray and preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Heat up the water, quinoa, oats, and fruit in a pan until the mixture starts to simmer and thicken. The consistency should be thick and starchy. You can always add a bit of water to the mixture if need be. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the eggs. Add in the salt and maple syrup and transfer to the casserole dish. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the oatmeal is a light golden brown. Take out of the oven and serve with the maple roasted apples.

You can always add more syrup to the mix if you have a bit of a sweet tooth, but we are trying to keep it healthy here. Another way to add some more protein to the mix is to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder when the mixture is simmering.

I had just read a couple articles about if rolled oats were gluten free or not. From what I gather I believe they are for the most part, but only if they haven't been cross contaminated with gluten in the place it was processed. You can always try using gluten free oats, or even rice as a replacement for the oats. It may not bake as well as the rolled oats do.
