Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
- 2 cups water or milk
- 1 large apple, diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon raisins or dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse quinoa under cool water using a fine mesh sieve.
- In a saucepan, combine quinoa, water or milk, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
- While quinoa cooks, dice the apple and toast the nuts in a small pan for 2–3 minutes until golden.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork, then stir in apple pieces, cinnamon, and raisins.
- Warm through for one minute so the apples slightly soften.
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and top with toasted nuts.
- Serve warm or chilled with a spoonful of Greek yogurt if desired.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for depth of flavor.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Add coconut flakes or fresh berries for extra color and texture.
