Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Creamy, chocolaty, filling and healthy, this quinoa breakfast porridge is a slightly more daring choice for anyone stuck in a morning rut. You can have a big batch ready in just 15 minutes and store it in the fridge for days.
ingredients
- ⅓ cup quinoa, uncooked
- 1 cup plant-based milk (I used almond milk)
- ½ banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon agave syrup, optional
instructions
- Rinse and drain the quinoa.
- Place it in a small saucepan, add almond milk, mashed banana, cocoa powder and agave syrup (if using). Bring to a high simmer, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
- Cook for 15 minutes stirring constantly.
- After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let the quinoa sit for 5 more minutes.
- Scoop the quinoa into two bowls and serve as is or add warm almond milk for a porridge-style breakfast. Top with sliced bananas, fresh berries, chocolate chips, hemp seeds and/or nut butter.
notes
- Storing Instructions: let your quinoa cool in the pan to room temperature, then transfer it to individual containers (as many as you want your serving sizes to be). Seal with a lid and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Recommended Tools: measuring cups, measuring spoons
