'Creamy' Coconut Quinoa & Oat Porridge

5/3/2014

As mentioned in the previous post, I've been making a conscious effort to cut back on sugar. In order to satisfy my taste buds, I have to get creative and experiment with other flavor profiles. Eating this porridge was like floating on a cloud, so dreamy. The coconut milk thickened and created this 'creamy' bowl of heaven. The cinnamon and nutmeg added a warmness, while the quinoa, oats, and almond/coconut butter added a nutty flavor profile, all together it was perfection.

Fiber filled and protein packed, this porridge bowl will leave you feeling satisfied, enlightened, and will get rid of your mid-morning stomach growling.

'Creamy' Coconut Quinoa & Oat Porridge

Servings: 1 bowl

1/4 cup of organic quinoa 
1/4 cup of quick oats
1/4 cup of unsweetened organic shredded coconut
1 cup of homemade coconut milk (or store bought)
1/4 cup of water (you can add more later if it needs it)
1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
Few dashes of nutmeg
1/8 tsp of salt
1 Tbsp of almond or coconut butter 
1 Tbsp of coconut oil
1/4 tsp of pure vanilla extract

*Feel free to top this dreamy bowl with more dreamy and superfood toppings like chia/flax seeds, granola (I topped mine with my coconut granola) and drizzle with some macadamia oil (or maple syrup if you really need sweetener).


In a small pot over the stove, combine all ingredients (except toppings), give a quick stir, and bring to a boil. 

Lower the heat down to med/low and let simmer until it thickens and quinoa is fully cooked - about 5-10 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally.

Pour into a small bowl and finish with your choice of toppings.
