Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup Dairy-free milk – we use oat milk or almond milk
  • ½ cup Water
  • ¾ cup Quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons Strawberry jam – we make an easy homemade microwave jam but you can used store-bought too
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Pour the quinoa into a fine mesh colander and rinse under running water for around 30 seconds. Drain well. This step removes any bitterness on the outside of the quinoa caused by naturally occurring saponins
  • Combine the rinsed quinoa and 1 ½ cup milk, ½ cup water, 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and pinch of salt in a saucepan. 
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, then decrease the heat to low for a gentle simmer. 
  • Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid
  • Remove the pot from heat and let stand for 5 more minutes, covered. Add topping and serve.
