Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, whole milk, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- In a separate small saucepan, heat the blueberries with a touch of maple syrup over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes until they release juice and begin to soft‑cook into a compote.
- If the porridge seems thick, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen it to your liking.
- Divide the porridge between two bowls.
- Spoon the blueberry compote over each portion.
- Drizzle with more almond milk to finish, if desired.
Two tips
- Make the blueberry compote ahead and refrigerate; reheat with a splash of almond milk when ready to serve.
- If you don’t have maple syrup, a touch of honey can be substituted, or use any berries you have on hand instead of blueberries.
