Apple Nut Breakfast Quinoa
Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 1 cup plant milk of choice
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1-2 (about 1 cup) diced apples peeled if not organic
  • 1-2 tbsp real maple syrup
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
Nuts & Seeds, Etc
  • 2 tbsp pecans
  • 2 tbsp walnuts
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried dates (or raisins or cranberries - optional)
Instructions

  1. Add diced apple and about 2 teaspoons of filtered water to a medium sized pot over medium heat. Cook until the apples soften a bit, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add quinoa and stir to combine.

  3. Add the plant milk, filtered water, cinnamon and maple syrup. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.

  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and stir in the nuts, seeds, coconut and dried fruit.

  5. Cover the pot and let cook for 15 minutes over low heat. 

  6. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered for 5 minutes.

  7. Fluff the quinoa. Serve in bowls topped with additional fruit, plant milk and maple syrup, if desired.

Recipe Notes

For the nuts and seeds, you can use whatever you have on hand. Just add about 3/4 cup of mixed nuts seeds, shredded coconut, etc.

 

This can be made ahead of time and warmed up in minutes on the stove with a bit of almond milk (or other milk). It will last a few days in the fridge.
