Cinnamon Quinoa with Fruit & Nuts
Ingredients: (Makes 1)
- Almond Milk 1 cup, unsweetened
- Peach 1, small
- Quinoa 90g or 1/2 cup, tricolor
- Raspberries 1 handful
- Salt pinch
- Maple Syrup 1 tsp
- Almonds 2 tsp, flaked
- Cinnamon 1 tsp
- Desiccated Coconut 1/2 tbsp
Instructions:
Thoroughly rinse and drain a cup of quinoa to remove any natural coating, which
can make it taste bitter.
In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract,
and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a high simmer. Once it starts simmering,
cover the saucepan and reduce the heat, letting it gently simmer for about 15
minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid it bubbling over, and stir once during
the cooking process if necessary.
Once the quinoa has absorbed most of the almond milk and appears cooked,
remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit covered for another 5 minutes, allowing
it to fluff up and absorb any remaining liquid.
Divide the cooked cinnamon quinoa between two bowls. Top with the toasted
almonds, desiccated coconut, slices of peach, a handful of raspberries, and drizzle
with a tsp of maple syrup.
