Chocolate Quinoa Porridge

Quinoa is a protein, fibre and vitamin B-rich seed. It has a slightly earthy and nutty flavour, which is a lovely complement to the brown sugar and cocoa powder in this recipe. Coconut milk adds a velvety creaminess, making this a super satisfying breakfast option.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 2/3 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 3 Tbsp Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 banana
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a saucepan, combine the quinoa, soy and coconut milk, brown sugar, flaxseed, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

  2. 2

    Add the bananas into the porridge and stir. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, partially covered. The quinoa should have absorbed all the liquid and the bananas should be cooked down.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and cover for 5 minutes before serving up. Top with fresh berries and yogurt, and enjoy!
