Ingredients

1 cup quinoa soaked in water over night (in the refrigerator) or at least one hour before.
1 cup water
1 cup of almond milk or coconut milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp. pure maple syrup or honey

Instructions

Soak quinoa overnight in refrigerator.
Before cooking, drain the quinoa and discard the soaking water.
Combine the 1 cup water, 1 cup of almond milk (or coconut milk), and quinoa in a small saucepan over high heat and bring it to a boil, then lower the heat.
Cover to cook on low heat until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed (approx. 10-15 minutes.)
Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla, sweetener, and a little extra almond milk (or coconut milk) to make a creamy texture (as desired).
Top with walnuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, flaxseed or berries. Serve warm.

Optional toppings

Walnuts
Ground flaxseed
