Quinoa is a great source of protein and fiber, and it makes a tasty and nutritious breakfast when paired with some apples and cinnamon. Cook the quinoa in almond milk, add some chopped apples, and sprinkle with cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious and filling breakfast that your kids will love.

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa

2 cups water

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 apples, peeled and chopped

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, dried fruit, additional honey

Instructions:

Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and add it to a medium saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

While the quinoa cooks, add the milk, chopped apples, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a separate saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.

Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the apple mixture and cook for a few more minutes until heated through.

Serve hot with your desired toppings, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or additional honey. Enjoy!

Note: You can adjust the sweetness and spice level to your liking by adding more or less honey and cinnamon. You can also use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond milk or coconut milk.
