BFMH: Fruit Breakfast Quinoa

Sounds weird, but read on before you make any final judgement....

Breakfast Quinoa

2 cups whole or low-fat milk, plus more for serving

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

3 tablespoons light-brown sugar, plus more for serving

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving

1 cup (1/2 pint) fresh blueberries, plus more for serving

Directions

Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in blueberries, and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with additional milk, sugar, honey, cinnamon, and blueberries.

The berries all sank to the bottom.

This was super yummy and I was incredibly surprised by that. It is sort of like porridge but it keeps it little al dente bite that I like so much about Quinoa. A nice alternative to oatmeal on a cold morning and a great way to use up left over Quinoa. try this, with the addition of the cinnamon, sugar, honey, and berries, it is sweet and filling with out being a danish or tasting like you have a bowl of rice for breakfast.
