Description
Simple Coconut Breakfast Porridge – a wholesome and cozy breakfast recipe with quinoa, oats, coconut milk, and one surprise ingredient!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 14-ounce can coconut milk (regular or light is fine)
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- a pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup juice or water – Bai5 Antioxidant Infusions Congo Pear is perfection in this
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- cinnamon to taste
- apple slices, peanut butter, or honey for topping
Instructions
- Bring the coconut milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the quinoa and salt and cook for 15 minutes or so, until the quinoa is cooked. Add the Bai5, oats, cinnamon, and salt – cook for just a few more minutes to soften the oats.
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium high heat, add the coconut flakes and shake in the pan until lightly toasted. You can also do this in the oven, but I find it’s a bit faster on the stovetop.
- Serve up the porridge topped with toasted coconut and anything your heart desires.
Notes
For a thicker porridge, only add about 1/2 cup of the Bai5. For a softer porridge, add the full cup. I usually start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed as the mixture soaks up more moisture.
Bonus: you can use other seeds or grains! For example, I made this with 1 cup quinoa and 1/2 freekeh. Just use your best judgement for how much moisture and how much time each grain will need in order to cook.
