Warm Breakfast Quinoa



Warm Breakfast Quinoa (“KEEN wa”)
Adapted from 101Cookbooks.com

Ingredients
1 c water
1 c milk of choice (dairy, almond, soy)
1 c quinoa

Toppings: cinnamon, real maple syrup, agave, berries, nuts, seeds, dry fruit, granola, etc.

Directions
Add water, milk and quinoa to a large saucepan, preferably a wide shallow pan with sides but a pot will do. Bring to boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes. All the liquid will absorb so keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Once liquid is absorbed remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. To serve, top with fruit, nuts and seeds, and a little sweetener of your choice.


I usually have this warmed, but it’s good cold. This dish makes great leftovers, so cook it up on a Sunday for quick, healthy breakfasts all week! My favorite topping combo is cinnamon, blueberries, chia seed, pumpkin seeds, pecans and a drizzle of real maple syrup.
