Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Porridge

Start your winter morning with this warm, hearty, and gluten-free Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Porridge. It is a comforting breakfast packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large Apple, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (or to taste)
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Optional Toppings: Nuts, seeds, extra cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine the rinsed quinoa, water, and milk in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced apple, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt.
  5. Continue to cook, uncovered, for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Rinsing the quinoa removes the saponin coating, preventing a bitter taste.
  • Feel free to use rolled oats instead of quinoa for a different texture.
  • For a creamier porridge, use full-fat milk or a rich non-dairy alternative like cashew milk.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract with the spices for extra warmth.
