Ingredients
- 1/2 cup
- quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 125 mL
- 1-1/2 cups
- soy beverage
- 375 mL
- 1/4 cup
- raisins or dried cranberries
- 60 mL
- 1/4 tsp

- 1 mL
- 1/2 tsp
- vanilla extract
- 2 mL
- pinch of salt (optional)
- fresh fruit such as berries, diced apple or sliced banana (optional)
- maple syrup or honey to taste (optional)
Directions
- Step 1
- Place quinoa, soy beverage, dried fruit, cinnamon, vanilla and salt, if using, in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook undisturbed 15 min. Uncover and, still simmering, stir the quinoa mixture occasionally and cook an additional 5 to 10 min., or until quinoa is tender and mixture is a thick, creamy porridge.
- Step 2
- Divide porridge between 2 bowls. Top with fresh fruit. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey, to taste.
Tip
Instead of dried cranberries or raisins, try dried blueberries or currants – or use a mix of dried fruits. Or add other toppings such as mango, kiwi, pears, nectarines, plums, toasted almonds, unsweetened coconut flakes or hemp hearts.
