Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup quinoa, well rinsed
2/3 cup water
1 granny smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped almonds or 1/4 cup cashews
2 -3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon soy margarine
1 -2 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse Quinoa well to ensure your dish doesn't have a bitter taste.
  • In a small sauce pan, bring water and Quinoa to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes (or until water is absorbed). You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.
  • In a separate sauce pan, while Quinoa is cooking, melt soy margarine, then add raisins, nuts, cinnamon (and syrup, if desired) and simmer until raisins are plumped.
  • When Quinoa is fully cooked, add fruit and nut mixture. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right quinoa: For this recipe, it's best to use white or tri-color quinoa. These varieties cook quickly and have a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly: Rinsing the quinoa helps to remove any saponins, which are natural compounds that can give quinoa a bitter taste.
  • Use a non-stick pot: A non-stick pot will help to prevent the quinoa from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Cook the quinoa according to the package directions: The cooking time for quinoa can vary depending on the brand and type of quinoa you use. Be sure to follow the directions on the package to ensure that the quinoa is cooked properly.
  • Add the apples and cinnamon at the end of the cooking time: This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the apples and cinnamon.
  • Serve the quinoa cereal warm or cold: Apple cinnamon quinoa cereal can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Apple cinnamon quinoa cereal is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is easy to make. It's a great way to start your day with a nutritious meal that will keep you feeling full and satisfied. With its combination of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, apple cinnamon quinoa cereal is a great choice for a healthy and delicious breakfast.
