Ingredients

Quinoa, cooked 3/4 cup
Walnuts, chopped 1/4 cup
Pear, diced 1 medium
Almond milk 1/2 cup
Maple syrup 1 tbsp

Method

Prepare Ingredients. Gather all ingredients. Dice the pear into small, bite-sized pieces. Chop the walnuts roughly if not pre-chopped.
Tip: Use a sharp knife and cut the pear on a stable cutting board to avoid slipping.
Warm the Quinoa and Almond Milk. In a small saucepan, combine the cooked quinoa and almond milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Tip: Warm gently to avoid curdling the almond milk and to keep the quinoa fluffy.
Sweeten the Porridge. Once the quinoa and almond milk mixture is warm and slightly thickened, stir in the maple syrup to evenly distribute the sweetness.
Tip: Adjust sweetness by adding a little more maple syrup if desired.
Assemble and Serve. Pour the warm quinoa porridge into a bowl. Top with the chopped walnuts and diced pear. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh berries for extra flavor if you like.

Pro tips

Cook quinoa in advance and store in the fridge for quick breakfast prep.
Toast walnuts lightly in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor before adding.
