Start your morning with a bowl that feels like a hug. This protein-rich quinoa porridge balances the gentle heat of cinnamon with the nutty creaminess of toasted almonds.
This quinoa porridge offers a gluten-free alternative to traditional oats. It is packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants, making it a perfect sustained-energy breakfast.
Combine rinsed quinoa, almond milk, water, cinnamon, and salt in a medium pot.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15-18 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in maple syrup.
