Warm and satisfying, like a brownie for breakfast! I topped this quinoa porridge with a scoop of plain Greek yogurt and some banana slices.

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa

2 cups milk (I used almond milk)

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 pinch kosher salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Rinse quinoa until water runs clear. Place quinoa in medium sized sauce pan, add milk, salt, and cocoa powder. Stir until cocoa powder dissolves.

Turn heat on medium, and bring to a boil. Once the milk starts to boil, reduce heat til medium low and cook at a slow simmer. Add brown sugar and vanilla. Cook uncovered until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Divide porridge into 2 bowls. Top with yogurt and fresh fruit, if desired. Enjoy!
