Description
Creamy Maple Quinoa Pudding transforms ordinary breakfast into something extraordinary.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 2 cups milk such as whole milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, about 30 seconds.
- Combine the rinsed quinoa, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce to low.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Check the quinoa for doneness – it should be tender with a slight bite.
- Remove from heat and let the pudding rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
- Stir the pudding gently before serving. It should have a creamy, spoonable consistency.
- Serve warm in bowls, adding your favorite toppings.
