Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Take a look at this delicious bowl of quinoa breakfast porridge – isn’t it inviting?
This hearty meal is not just appealing but also filled with health benefits. Quinoa is a complete protein, which means it contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s also rich in fiber and packed with vitamins and minerals. Let’s dive into how you can whip up this delightful recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh fruits for topping (bananas, berries, etc.)
- Nuts or seeds (optional add-ins)
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and almond milk. Bring it to a light boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
- Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid. If the porridge seems too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for a few minutes. This will allow it to thicken further.
- Serve warm in bowls, topped with your favorite fresh fruits and nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition. Enjoy your wholesome breakfast!
