Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate arils
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Almonds (sliced or chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is fully absorbed.
Once cooked, remove the quinoa from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork.
In the same pot with the fluffed quinoa, stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon to evenly distribute the flavors.
Divide the quinoa into serving bowls. Sprinkle the pomegranate arils and almonds on top.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the bowls for a natural sweetness.
If desired, pour a splash of milk into each bowl for a creamier texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your Pomegranate Honey Quinoa Breakfast!
