Creamy quinoa porridge with flaxseed is my current cool weather breakfast addiction. Using super soft quinoa flakes, this porridge cooks in a matter of minutes and is so deliciously thick. I also add a spoonful of ground flaxseed for a boost of healthy fats, protein and fibre. Gluten free and dairy free.
1/2cupcoconut milk(carton, not canned) or any other milk of choice
3/4cupwater

Instructions
Place quinoa flakes, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, 1/2 cup coconut milk and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Stir to combine.
Cook the porridge over a moderate heat on the stove, stirring gently. The porridge should start to bubble and thicken within 2 minutes. Reduce the heat if it starts bubbling too much. Cook for no longer than 3 minutes. Add a little extra water or milk if the porridge becomes too thick during cooking.
Serve the porridge piping hot with a drizzle of maple syrup and toppings of choice.
Notes
