Ingredients

Scale
  • Cook quinoa according to package direction. Quinoa must be rinsed before cooking to remove a bitter tasting coating. The bag I bought at Costco is prerinsed, but not all are, so check the packaging.
  • Cooking Quinoa
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • optional: 1/4 tsp salt

A few topping ideas to get your started:

  • *Berries, brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans
  • *Toasted coconut, peaches or mangos, honey and slivered almonds
  • *Apple, cinnamon,nutmeg,  maple syrup and walnuts

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa if needed.
  2. Put 1 cup in saucepan with water and salt, if using.
  3. Bring to a boil, cover with tight fitting lid and turn down to a simmer.
  4. Cook for 15 minutes, remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes with the lid on.
  5. Fluff quinoa with a fork and you are ready to use it for breakfast:)
  6. For breakfast I like to scoop desired amount into a bowl and top with almond milk (or any milk you prefer), fresh or dried fruit, nuts and sweetener (I like honey or brown sugar). If you want a more creamy texture put the quinoa and milk together and stir until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Be creative and have fun with this breakfast!  I would love to hear the combinations you come up with:)
