Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in blueberries, and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with additional milk, sugar, cinnamon, and blueberries.
I loved it. I am always looking for a low carbohydrate, protein replacement food, and Quinoa is my go to. To find recipes for Quinoa that taste good it great.
I made this for my son Jacob, who is 8. Jacob said "Its okay when hot, but I like to play and not eat. And when it gets cold...it tastes icky. Maybe I should eat first and play later."
I made with raspberries and brown sugar. He added alot of splenda. It is his first taste of Quinoa. Next I will try something Savory.
I loved making quinoa for breakfast. I made mine with raspberries and it turned out wonderful, hot or cold! Here's my post on it: http://cupcakesaremylife.blogspot.com/2011/12/breakfast-berry-quinoa.html
I LOVED this! I used the Splenda/Brown Sugar combination with Almond Milk instead of regular milk and it was so delicious. I made it for 3 other girls as well and they really liked it too! (those were honest opinions too, I did not persuade them :)
Ever since I was introduced to quinoa two years ago, I have been making this delicious and healthy version of porridge.
I make it with soy milk, delicious!
This was delicious. I have a lactose intolerance, so I used half lactose free milk and half almond milk instead of regular milk. Both are sweet, so just a little Agave nectar was enough to sweeten it. Agave nectar also has low GI.
Yummy! Great alternative to oatmeal!
I used Rice milk instead because I can't eat dairy. It worked beautifully. Also, I bought pre-rinsed quinoa which saves me a step.
You can just run the butter around the inside top part of the pot if you don't want to add it.
Try putting a dab of butter in when you cook it. It will keep it from boiling over.
I love this dish! Cooking time can be a lot longer or a lot shorter depending on the pan you use. I've burned it quite a few times. Always cook it on the lowest heat possible. Tastes great with a little maple syrup in it, as well.
I really like this recipe! The flavor is great and it is a nice change to oatmeal and cream of wheat. My biggest problem is keeping the milk from boiling over. It happens every time no matter how high or low I keep the heat. Any tips would be appreciated!
I tried this. It took much, much longer to cook than the recipe said. It was pretty good, but I still prefer oatmeal! You can see my results here: http://marthaandme.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/quinoa-for-breakfast/
