Six Ingredient Breakfast Quinoa

breakfast quinoa made with coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and fresh berries in a bowl
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups coconut milk, (or any other plant based milk)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Fresh fruit, for serving (optional)
  • Toasted nuts or coconut flakes, for serving (optional)
  • Cream or milk, for serving (optional)
  • Extra maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Method

  1. Using a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the quinoa under cold water.
  2. In a medium pot, bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the quinoa and bring the milk back up to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until most of the milk has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
  4. Stir in the cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and maple syrup until fully combined.
  5. Serve with fresh fruit, toasted nuts or coconut flakes, cream, milk, or extra syrup for added sweetness, if desired.
