Cinnamon, apple and quinoa breakfast bowl

Servings: 2

INGREDIENTS

1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa

2 apples, diced

1.5 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/16 tsp salt

METHOD

Add the almond milk, quinoa, apples, cinnamon, vanilla extract, ginger, and salt to a small pot. Stir together.

Bring to a boil. Then cover the pot and turn down to a simmer. Let cook for 15-18 minutes on low until most of the milk has been absorbed. Remove from heat but do not open the cover Let sit for 5 minutes.

Open and fluff with fork. Add your favorite toppings and serve.

Shortcut: If you already have cooked quinoa, this recipe can still work. Start by dicing the apple. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, a pinch of ginger, and a pinch of salt per serving. Then microwave for 1:30-2 minutes until the quinoa is heated through and milk is warm. This can also be done in a saucepan, just sauté the apples until soft and then add remaining ingredients.
