Quinoa Breakfast Pudding Recipes

EASY QUINOA PUDDING (FOR BREAKFAST OR DESSERT)

Steps:

• Place the quinoa into a fine-mesh colander and rinse under cold water for about 15 seconds. Drain and add to a medium pot.
• Add the milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring every few minutes to avoid scorching the bottom of the pot, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is soft.
• Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve warm or chill to serve later, topped with fruit if desired.

COCONUT QUINOA PUDDING

Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the quinoa is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pudding to a bowl, and refrigerate, covered, until cold.
• To serve, stir in some additional coconut milk for a creamy consistency. Top with cocoa nibs, almonds and toasted coconut. Enjoy!
