Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 large apples
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Honey, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel and core both apples carefully. Chop them into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the quinoa.
- Cook quinoa and apples: In a saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and chopped apples. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed the water, and the apples have softened.
- Add cinnamon and serve: Stir the cinnamon thoroughly into the cooked quinoa and apple mixture. Divide it evenly between two bowls. Drizzle with honey according to your taste, and optionally sprinkle additional cinnamon on top for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- You can use any variety of sweet apples, such as Fuji or Gala, for best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on your desired sweetness.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- This recipe can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Sprinkle nuts or seeds on top for added texture and nutrients if desired.
