Spiced Breakfast Quinoa
Instead of oatmeal, switch out that wholesome whole grain for another one—quinoa. This protein- and flavor-packed breakfast bowl is cinnamon-spiced, sweet, and vegan to boot.
Ingredients
- 4 1/4 cups water
- 1 1/3 cups quinoa rinsed and drained
- 3 Tbsp apple juice
- 3 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups soy or almond milk
Instructions
- In pot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Stir in quinoa, juice, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Return to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer until quinoa is very tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Add soy or almond milk. Return to a simmer, 8 more minutes.
Notes
Serve hot with your favorite fresh fruit, if desired.
