Ingredients

Scale

For the quinoa

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (not dry!) 
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or oat milk for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

For the toppings

  • Fresh berries (we used blueberries and raspberries)
  • Sliced almonds
  • Coconut flakes
  • Roasted salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa in advance: go to How to Cook Quinoa. Refrigerate until serving or proceed to Step 2.
  2. Place the quinoa, milk, cinnamon, maple syrup and kosher salt in a saucepan. Heat for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat until warmed though, stirring occasionally.
  3. Transfer to 2 bowls. Top each serving with berries, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, pepitas, and a drizzle of nut butter. Serve immediately. Leftover breakfast quinoa stores for 4 to 5 days refrigerated; warm gently before serving.
