So I have been trying to experiment not only with quinoa but breakfast. I love eggs and can eat them almost every day. But I need some verity at times. So I went to pinterest and found quite a few breakfast recipes with quinoa. So I figured I would give it a try. I have tried a few recipes. And have come up with one with bits from a few recipes and my own zing. I think this is the best one so far but I'm not quite done experimenting. So I start with 1/2 cup of quinoa and 3/4 cup of almond coconut milk. I use unsweetened. But if you want it sweeter used the other kinds. (Picture below )
I added a few tsp of vanilla for this time 2. And 1 tsp of cinnamon. And brought it to a boil. Make sure you watch pot it will boil over fast. The. Reduce to simmer and cover for 15 min. Or until the quinoa is fork fluffy.
Now after I changed it from every recipe. Because it always seemed so bland! This time I added a handful of blueberries. Half an apple some chopped pecans and 1/4 of a banana. Then I topped it with a splash of the almond coconut milk because it still seemed a bit dry.
Bananas have a lot of sugar. However they are very good for you as well. I only used 1/4 because I want to watch the sugar intake over all. But how much you use is your preference.
As for my choice I'm pecans over any other nut. I but a new type every time I run out to keep some variety. They are always raw thought. So next week if I make this it may be chopped walnuts or chopped almonds. All depends what is in my cabinet.
I tell you it was very good. I think I may experiment with different baking spices. Maybe some pumpkin pie spice. But that's for another morning. Some raspberries would probably be delicious as well.
I did cut the quinoa in half after it was cooked and put some away for tomorrow before I added the fruit.
Enjoy!
Happy weekend and warm regards.
