Quinoa Porridge
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk **or any milk you like
- 1/2 banana (mashed)
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- dash cinnamon
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Turn down to medium low heat. Cook until porridge is thick and creamy (about 10 minutes.)
Top as desired. I love to add organic raisins and chopped walnuts to mine! :)
***I add 1 cup rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water to my rice cooker to make enough quinoa to last me all week! If you don't have a rice cooker....follow the instructions on the back of the package.
As I sit here eating my oatmeal for the billionth day in a row... definitely need to switch things up! Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I have to force myself to switch things up every once in a while!
DeleteO yum! SO good and comforting!
ReplyDeleteIf you cook the quinoa in your rice cooker, do you add the milk, etc after you heat up a serving? I've never thought of using quinoa as porridge; will definitely try this.
ReplyDeleteI add the cooked quinoa to the pot with all of the other ingredients and let them cook together. You can cook the quinoa using whatever method you would like following the cooking instructions on the package. Hope you love it!! :)
