Quinoa Breakfast Bowls
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 349kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry quinoa soaked overnight (with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar)
- 1 13.5-ounce can coconut milk I like this brand
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- suggested toppings: blueberry compte, nut butter, hemp seeds, chopped nuts, etc
Instructions
- Drain soaked quinoa then rinse thoroughly. Add to a medium size pot along with coconut milk and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer then stir in honey, vanilla and salt. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring intermittently. After 15 minutes, most of the coconut milk should be absorbed.
- Remove from heat, cover and allow the quinoa to steam for 15 additional minutes.
- Serve warm topped with compote, nut butter and hemp seeds. Pour in additional coconut milk, if desired, and enjoy!
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
*I recommend soaking quinoa overnight for optimal digestion and absorption of nutrients. Pour the quinoa in a shallow bowl and cover with water by several inches. Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and stir. Allow to sit for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before adding to recipe.
