Ingredients
Method
Gather your ingredients.
Place the quinoa and water into a saucepan. Cover, place over a medium heat, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, until all of the water has been absorbed.
Add the oats, chia seeds, plant based milk and cinnamon and cook for a further 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until smooth and creamy.
Roughly mash the banana.
Then gently mix the banana and most of the blueberries through the porridge. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until the berries are beginning to burst.
Serve the porridge in bowls topped with the remaining blueberries and a drizzle of almond butter.

If you use frozen blueberries there’s HEAPS of liquid. I added a teaspoon of maple syrup to the berries whilst cooking.
Kids LOVE this recipe (I do it without the oats). The cinnamon and nut butter takes it to the next level!
I needed to add more liquid
👍👍👍 I like to prepare my breakfast at evening and just grab it in the morning. This breakfast was tasty and nearly like a comfort food because of the delicious almond butter.
A bit bland I wanted more flavour although the Banana helped. Maybe a little maple syrup will experiment with amount of cinnamon too. A work in progress
Really enjoyed this dish it was fill of flavour and if you are used to something sweet in the morning a good alternative
Great recipe Rupy, thank you. I would increase the cinnamon to half a teaspoon.
It was amazing! I cooked the recipe for 1 so I needed a little more water to cook the quinoa and used frozen blueberries which cooked perfectly. I was totally surprised at how delicious and easy to make it was! If you don’t have much time in the morning, I would practice making it at the weekend the first time, just so you can appreciate it! Thank you!!
Delicious!
I did find it a bit of pain with ingredients being listed in grams and litres so translated the measurements into Cups. This was much easier as I only needed to work with one cup eg I had no idea what 50g of blueberries looked like so it was easier to see a 1/3 of a cup.
