Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

1/2 cup fresh fruits (e.g., sliced bananas, berries, or apple chunks)

Optional toppings: coconut flakes, chia seeds, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and almond milk. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the milk is absorbed.

    Season the Quinoa: Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Afterward, fluff the quinoa with a fork. Stir in the cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cinnamon-spiced quinoa into serving bowls. Top each bowl with chopped nuts and fresh fruits of your choice.

        Add Extra Toppings: If desired, sprinkle coconut flakes, chia seeds, or add a dollop of yogurt on top for extra flavor and nutrition.

          Serve: Enjoy your cozy and nourishing quinoa breakfast bowl warm, or let it cool and enjoy it chilled for a refreshing twist!
