Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans toasted
  • 4 teaspoons maple syrup

Instruction

  • Place the uncooked quinoa in a dry medium pan (with no oil or butter), and cook over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, or until you hear a little popping, and the quinoa will small nutty and toasty. Keep an eye on the quinoa, and be careful not to burn it!
  • Pour the milk and water, and mix the cinnamon into the toasted quinoa, and continue to cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat, and let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blackberries. Transfer to four serving bowls and top with pecans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon maple syrup over each serving.
  • While the quinoa cooks, roast the pecans in a 350° F degree oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Or toast nuts in a dry skillet on the stovetop over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Or toast in an air fryer, by placing the nuts in the bottom of the basket in a single layer, you may use a piece of parchment paper to keep them from falling through if you need to, set the cook temperature to 300° F, and air fry for 4-6 minutes.
