Ingredients
The following ingredients have 5 Servings
- 1 cup quinoa
- 4 cups milk (such as unsweetened coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, or whole milk)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instruction
- Place quinoa in a mesh colander. Rinse thoroughly with cold water (until the water runs clear) and allow to drain.
- In a medium (at least 3-quart) pot, combine the quinoa, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover, leaving the lid cracked so that some steam may escape. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring about every 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue simmering for 5 more minutes or until the pudding has thickened and the quinoa has absorbed most (but not all) of the milk. Remove from heat.
- Pour into bowls and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving (pudding will continue to thicken as it cools). Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.
