Ingredients

• 35 g (⅓ cup) quinoa flakes
• 270 ml coconut milk, or milk of your choice
• 2 tbsp white chia seeds
• 1 tbsp organic honey or maple syrup, plus extra to serve
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve

To serve

• berries
• toasted flaked almond
• toasted coconut chips

Instructions

1. Place the quinoa flakes in a sieve and rinse under running water until the water runs clear to remove the bitterness. 

2. Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir over low heat for 3 minutes or until the desired consistency is achieved. For a thinner consistency, add extra milk and for a thicker consistency, simmer longer.

3. Pour the porridge into bowls and top with berries, nuts, coconut chips, a pinch of extra cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.
