Description
A healthy breakfast that can be made ahead of time
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed (unless you have a brand that is pre-rinsed)
- 1 1/2 cups milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (juice from 2 small oranges–if you get a little more or less add or subtract some milk to make sure you have 2 cups total liquid)
- zest from 1/2 an orange
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- generous pinch nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, bring the milk, orange juice, and orange zest to a boil. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and quinoa. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, dry toast your walnuts in a small skillet pan. In a small bowl, mash your banana. Stir in the maple syrup and set aside.
- Remove quinoa from heat and stir in banana/maple syrup mixture. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve.
