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)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once cooked, remove the quinoa from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff it with a fork.
Step 4
In the same pot with the fluffed quinoa, stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 5
Divide the quinoa into serving bowls. Sprinkle the pomegranate arils and almonds on top.
Step 6
Drizzle the honey evenly over the bowls for a natural sweetness.
Step 7
If desired, pour a splash of milk into each bowl for a creamier texture.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your Pomegranate Honey Quinoa Breakfast!
