Ingredients
Scale
Quinoa Porridge
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Splashes of water (if needed for desired consistency)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup mango (fresh or frozen, chopped)
- 1/4 cup pecans (chopped)
- 2 tbsp coconut shavings (to sprinkle)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked quinoa, full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the Quinoa: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 12-15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid. Add splashes of water if necessary to adjust the porridge to your desired consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: Divide the creamy quinoa porridge evenly between two bowls. Top each serving with fresh or frozen raspberries and chopped mango. Finally, sprinkle the chopped pecans and coconut shavings on top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use rinsed quinoa before cooking to reduce any bitterness.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity according to your preferred sweetness.
- For a thinner porridge, add extra water or coconut milk while simmering.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
- Feel free to swap toppings according to seasonal fruits or nuts you have on hand.
- Leftover porridge can be refrigerated and gently reheated with a splash of plant-based milk.
