Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sliced or chopped almonds, toasted
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, banana slices, chia seeds, or extra honey

Instructions
 

  • Rinse Quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove the natural bitterness.
  • Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, 2 cups milk, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Add Sweetener and Flavor: Remove from heat, stir in honey and cinnamon. Adjust sweetness as desired.
  • Serve: Divide porridge into bowls and top with toasted almonds and optional toppings like fresh fruits, chia seeds, or an extra drizzle of honey.
