Ingredients
Method
Cooking Quinoa
- Place the rinsed quinoa, milk, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, turn the heat down to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
Sautéing Apples
- While the quinoa is cooking, place the diced apples in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the cinnamon, ginger, and a splash of water or milk.
- Sauté the apples for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are tender and fragrant. If they start to stick, add another tablespoon of liquid.
Combining Ingredients
- Once the quinoa is done, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Fluff it gently with a fork and stir in the sautéed apples, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Serving
- Divide the mixture into bowls. Top with chopped walnuts and a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk and warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway.
