Overnight Quinoa

2 cups quinoa (500g)

2 cups milk of your preference (500mL)

1/4 cup Honey (60mL)

2 tsp Cinnamon (10mg)

2 tsp Molasses (10mL)

2 tsp vanilla (10mL)

Suggested Toppings to chop and mix in

—Soak/Rinse and Cook Quinoa however you prefer. I cook my quinoa in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of quinoa and 3-4 cups of water. I let it be at full pressure for 5 minutes and then turn off.

—Mix quinoa with all ingredients and soak in the fridge overnight. What I have listed is how I make it. You could substitute the honey and molasses with another sweetener of choice.

—I allow everyone to add their own toppings in the morning because we all have different preferences. But, if you want it to be easier in the morning, you can also add those toppings the night before. We most often top ours with green apples, bananas, and almonds.

—Dish it out and serve in the morning, adding more milk, more honey, and/or toppings as you like.

It stores nicely in the fridge for a few days.
