Quinoa Breakfast Recipe

Measure the amount of quinoa you want. In this recipe we use 1/4 cup of dry quinoa.  You could certainly make 1 cup and then divide it into fourths for four make ahead breakfasts.

Rinse the quinoa.  I would argue that this is an important step that you don’t want to skip. There is a certain bitterness to quinoa that you get rid of when you rinse it.

Whatever amount of quinoa you are making, add double the amount of water. So if you stick with the 1/4 cup dry quinoa, add 1/2 cup of water.  If you are making more ahead of time and add 1 cup of dry quinoa, add 2 cups of water.

In a small saucepan bring the rinsed dry quinoa and the water to a boil.  Once it is boiling, cover it, turn the heat all the way down (but not off) and set your timer for 15 minutes.

When the timer goes off, the quinoa should have absorbed all the water.  Remove it from the heat, fluff it with a fork and you are ready to go!
