Quinoa:
- 1/4 cup quinoa
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Toppings:
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Place quinoa in a tight-weave strainer and rinse it well before cooking.
- Add rinsed quinoa, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt to a small pot and bring mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce to a low simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes until quinoa has absorbed most of the liquid, stirring frequently. If you find it dry, simply add an extra splash of almond milk to create the consistency of your choice.
- Add cooked quinoa to a bowl, and top with sliced banana, almonds, coconut and a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Enjoy!
