Serving Size: 3

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cup quinoa, drained
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 1.5 Cups almond milk
• 0.5 Cup water
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) brown sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. Toast Quinoa: Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the drained quinoa and ground cinnamon. Toast the quinoa, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
2. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, water, and vanilla extract. Stir in the brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
3. Cook Porridge: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens and the quinoa grains are tender. If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add a bit more water to maintain a creamy consistency.
4. Final Touches: Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash more almond milk just before serving.
5. Serve: Spoon the porridge into bowls and enjoy warm. For added texture and flavor, consider topping with fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Enjoy this hearty and flavorful porridge as a satisfying breakfast that will keep you energized throughout the morning!
