'Creamy' Coconut Quinoa & Oat Porridge

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.

I didn't add any sweetener, it really didn't need it. Cutting back on sugar has allowed me to savor and appreciate other flavor profiles. You'd be surprised the places your taste buds can fly!

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

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 - still perfecting the recipe and then I'll share ;) ), and drizzle with some macadamia oil (or maple syrup if you really need sweetener).

'Creamy' Coconut Quinoa & Oat Porridge

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of organic quinoa (I used sprouted)

1/4 cup gluten-free 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 organic ground cinnamon

Few dashes of nutmeg

1/8 tsp of Himalayan salt (or kosher/sea salt)

1 Tbsp of almond coconut butter (try making your own at home - I did, it came out fantastic!)

1 Tbsp of organic coconut oil

1/4 tsp of pure vanilla extract

Toppings:

- chia & flax seeds

- coconut granola

- macadamia oil

Directions:

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

Then pour into a bowl...

...and serve with your favorite toppings :)
