Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed
- 2 cups milk
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- fruit for topping
Instructions
- Place rinsed quinoa, milk and cinnamon in a large saucepan or dutch oven and bring mixture to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer, place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for 20-25 minutes. If the mixture starts bubbling too much, place the lid ajar and cook that way. You'll know it's done once the quinoa is soft and has absorbed most of the milk. At this time, you should remove it from the heat and stir in the maple syrup.
- Serve quinoa with fresh fruit and maybe a little extra milk over top. Enjoy!
