Quinoa Porridge with Almond Milk

Today, as the early morning light filters through the kitchen window, there’s a comforting simplicity in preparing a bowl of quinoa porridge with almond milk. This dish, with its gentle warmth and subtle nuttiness, feels like a quiet moment of nourishment amidst the rush of daily life.

Ingredients

• 1 cup organic quinoa, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, creamy and slightly sweet
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, rich and amber-colored
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, warm and fragrant
• A pinch of sea salt, fine and dissolving easily
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted to a golden crunch
• Fresh berries, vibrant and juicy, for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir gently to mix.
2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the quinoa to absorb any remaining liquid and become fluffy.
4. While the porridge rests, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
5. Fluff the quinoa porridge with a fork, then divide it into bowls. Top with the toasted almonds and fresh berries.

The porridge emerges creamy yet textured, with the quinoa’s slight chewiness contrasting beautifully with the crunch of almonds. The maple syrup and cinnamon weave a subtle sweetness through each bite, making it a versatile base for whatever fruits or nuts you have on hand.
