HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Combine the rinsed quinoa, water, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

02

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.

03

While the quinoa cooks, heat coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced plantain and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and caramelized.

04

Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the brown sugar and milk until well combined.

05

Divide the quinoa into two bowls and top with the caramelized plantain slices. Serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, toast the rinsed quinoa in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding water. This enhances its nutty taste. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey can also be added for garnish.

Easy Substitutions

If plantains are unavailable, ripe bananas can be used, though the texture will be softer. Any preferred sweetener can replace brown sugar. For a richer flavor, use coconut milk instead of regular milk.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover quinoa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water if needed to restore consistency.
