Quinoa Breakfast Porridge with Fruit Recipe

American · Breakfast · 25 min total

A warm, protein-packed breakfast porridge made with quinoa, simmered in milk and topped with fresh fruit and nuts.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced banana, diced apple)
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Add milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla to the saucepan. Stir, then bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until quinoa is tender and porridge has thickened.
3. Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes. Stir again; if too thick, add a splash of milk.
4. Spoon into bowls and top with fresh fruit and nuts or seeds. Serve warm.

Tips

• Leftover porridge can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
• Customize with your favorite toppings like dried fruit, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of nut butter.
