Instructions

  1. This is a great way to spruce up your usual oats and great for getting some extra protein in for breakfast or snacks. A bowl of this smothered in cinnamon and some toasted nuts is one of my favourite things to have.
  2. Add the quinoa, half a cup of water and half a cup of nut milk to a saucepan on medium heat. Pop the lid on and let it cook for about 12 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed and it’s nice and fluffy.
  3. Take the lid off and stir in the remaining nut milk, vanilla and coconut sugar. Let it cook until the coconut sugar dissolves and everything is heated through.
  4. Continue cooking it, letting the milk reduce and thicken until you have your desired consistency (like regular porridge everyone has different preferences for thickness!) Cut out the sugar and top with fresh berries to reduce your added sugar intake. My favourite in fresh raspberries and cranberries.
