Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup almond milk (or any preferred milk)
• 2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt
• Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
• Banana slices

Instructions

1. Begin by rinsing the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove its natural coating, which can taste bitter.
2. Place the rinsed quinoa in your Instant Pot along with the water and a pinch of salt.
3. Secure the lid and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Select the pressure cook function and set the timer to 1 minute on high pressure.
4. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
5. Carefully open the lid and stir in the almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
6. Serve the quinoa porridge in bowls, topped with fresh berries, banana slices, and an extra drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

Helpful Tips

• If you prefer your porridge thicker, reduce the amount of almond milk to 3/4 cup.
• Feel free to substitute maple syrup or agave syrup for honey if you prefer a different sweetener.
• You can add a handful of nuts or seeds for additional crunch and nutrition.

Storage Instructions

• Store any leftover porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore the creamy texture.

Pairings

• This breakfast porridge pairs beautifully with a warm cup of herbal tea or a freshly brewed coffee. For a complete and nutritious breakfast, serve alongside a smoothie packed with greens and fruits.
