Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Directions
Rinse and drain quinoa.
Place water, milk and quinoa in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Watch the pot carefully because it has a tendency to boil over. Remove from heat and let pot sit, covered for 2-3 minutes.
Remove lid and fluff quinoa before portioning into two bowls. Top with cacao nibs, fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can also add additional milk if you want more moisture.
