Breakfast Quinoa
Thanks to my older brother, Matt, for this recipe! (Also found here!)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup quinoa (rinse first)
- 2 cups blackberries or blueberries
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup dry roasted pecans, toasted in a dry pan
- 4 tsp. agave nectar or honey
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in berries and cinnamon; transfer to four bowls and top with pecans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon agave nectar over each serving.
This looks terrific – love quinoa and have not had it for breakfast …yet!
Thank you – it’s one of my favorite recipes – it fills me up 10x better than oatmeal, but tastes about the same. Thank you for your comment!
That is so funny, i JUST made these this morning, and then came across your blog post about the same recipe! i love this recipe, i found it on 101 cookbooks, and she talks about the cookbook it comes from- you may want to reference it, to give credit for the recipe
