Breakfast Quinoa

[Goblinmonger]

Just tried this recipe this morning. It was pretty tasty. I might put a small amount of brown sugar in next time I make it (not a lot).

Ingredients:
1 cup dry quinoa, rinsed well
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp cinnamon + more for sprinkling
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 cup warmed fat-free milk for drizzling (non-dairy milk is fine)
1 gala apple, peeled and diced
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Directions:
Combine quinoa, water, cinnamon and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes until quinoa can be fluffed with a fork.
Divide cooked quinoa between four bowls then stir in apple sauce, raisins, and pour in warmed milk. Top with fresh cut apples and pecans and a dash of cinnamon.
Makes 4 servings. You can divide the recipe to make 2 servings.

1. I really need to try quinoa. I've been talking about it for ages, and I just need to do it.

This looks really good!

2. That sounds great. Here's a very easy one . . . .

. . . . . two ingredients.

1 cup quinoa
2 cups clear diet fruit juice (I like cranberry)

Combine. Mix. Boil. Reduce to simmer. Let it go about 15 minutes or until the tell-tale little rings appear.

Eat.

The only downside is that quinoa is high in carbs.

3. Wow. I love cranberry

I would have never thought to use it with quinoa!
Glad you mentioned it!
