Description
A healthy breakfast that all ages will love
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
- 1 cup milk (I use almond milk, any milk will work)
- 1 cup water
- 1 medium apple, diced (I don’t peel)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped*
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, milk, water, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the quinoa is cooking, heat your walnuts over medium heat in a dry skillet. Allow to toast until the nuts are fragrant and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Top each serving of quinoa with some walnuts and serve. This dish reheats well, so you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days.
Notes
*Quinoa is a great food for older babies and young toddlers, but for babies under 1 or those with allergies in the family, you may want to omit the walnuts. Check with your doctor.
