Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the cooked brown rice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Divide the quinoa-rice mixture between two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh berries, banana slices, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes if using.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the toppings for sweetness.
