Looking for a filling and nutritious breakfast but slightly bored with oatmeal? You’ll love this protein-packed breakfast quinoa! Have fun with toppings!
In a small saucepan, bring milk, water, and salt to a rapid simmer over medium high heat. Add quinoa, and cinnamon, stirring to combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer with cover on for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa tails start to appear (more liquid will absorb when it’s removed from the heat).
Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Top with desired sweetener, fruit, and milk and enjoy immediately.
