Quinoa Brekkie Bowl Recipe

DF // GF // NF // SF // V // VG // P

1573KJ / 376 Cal Per Serve    

Ingredients

• 75 g (2½ oz/½ cup) quinoa 125 ml (4 fl oz/½ cup) unsweetened coconut milk (carton variety)
• 4 medjool dates, seeded and roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• pinch of ground cardamon
• 2 teaspoons sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons moist coconut flakes, plus extra for serving (optional)
• 1 x 125 g (4½ oz) punnet blueberries
• 1 x 250 g (9 oz) punnet strawberries

Method 

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear (make sure the holes in your sieve aren’t bigger than the quinoa - Maha learnt this the hard way!).
2. Put the quinoa into a saucepan with 375 ml (13 fl oz/1½ cups) of water, the coconut milk and the chopped dates.
3. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally and making sure that the quinoa doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
4. Once the quinoa has begun to soften, add the spices, sunflower seeds and coconut flakes. Continue to cook for another 5–10 minutes, until the quinoa has cooked.
5. Serve immediately.
6. We topped ours with fresh berries, extra coconut flakes, goji berries, pumpkin seeds (pepitas) and Greek-style yoghurt. 
7. For extra sweetness: drizzle with a little honey or rice malt syrup.
