Instead of porridge, here’s quinoa for breakfast: it’s cooked until soft in almond or oat milk and then stirred together with mashed banana and cocoa.

The ripe banana brings the sweetness, and a teaspoon of maple syrup rounds it off. The bowl is warm and filling – good for cold mornings.

Tips & Notes

Rinse the quinoa: Rinse thoroughly under running water so it doesn’t taste bitter.

Toppings: Banana slices, a few nuts, berries or a dollop of peanut butter go well with it.

Cook ahead: The quinoa can be cooked the day before and quickly warmed in the morning with a splash of plant milk.

Honey: If you tolerate honey well, you can use 1 tsp honey instead of maple syrup, as in the original recipe.
