Quinoa Base
- 2 cups of water
- 1 cup of quinoa
Toppings
- 1 banana (sliced)
- 1 apple (sliced)
- ¼ cup of raisins
- 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Instructions
- Cook Quinoa: In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in 1 cup of quinoa, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed and quinoa is tender.
- Fluff Quinoa: Remove the pot from heat. Use a fork to fluff the quinoa gently, allowing it to become light and airy, then transfer it into a serving bowl.
- Add Toppings: Arrange sliced banana, sliced apple, and raisins over the quinoa. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top for sweetness and warmth.
- Finish with Milk: Pour ½ cup of your preferred plant-based milk over the bowl to add creaminess and bring all the flavors together. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute plant-based milk with regular milk or any milk alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk based on preference.
- For added protein, consider topping with nuts or seeds such as walnuts or chia seeds.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar as desired.
- This dish can be prepared ahead by cooking quinoa the night before and assembling fresh in the morning.
