Breakfast Quinoa with Blueberries Bananas and Walnuts

6 steps

• If not pre-rinsed, place uncooked quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse thoroughly and drain.
• Place quinoa, oat milk, and water in a medium-size saucepan. Heat on high uncovered for about 5 minutes or until the mixture just starts to boil.
• Turn heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. It is okay if the quinoa is still very moist. Turn off heat.
• Add ground cinnamon to the saucepan, cover, and set aside for 3-5 minutes.
• Toast walnuts in a pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes, and then chop. Slice the banana.
• Divide quinoa evenly among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 2 tbsp of walnuts, 1/4 of the banana slices, 1/4 cup blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

Tips:
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, then use unsweetened frozen berries. Thaw or microwave until just warm, then add to saucepan in Step 4.

Substitute oat milk with any plant-based milk beverage you prefer.
