Quinoa Coconut Porridge

Coconut is my favorite addition to any meal, and when living in San Diego  at a quaint breakfast place I cannot even remember the name of, I had a porridge dish with coconut and quinoa. The dish was so good that its been my mission to recreate it ever sense. I was able to finally get a grip on a recipe that I love! 

Quinoa Coconut Porridge

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Quinoa (cooked, I usually make quinoa for dinner, so I save some to have it already prepaired)
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Shaving (fine) 
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Chips 
  • 2 cups Coconut milk 
  • 2 cups Steel Cut Oats
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • Sweeten to your desire. (Sugar, Honey, or Agave Nectar for sweetness) I use 2 Tbs Honey. 
  • Toppings: Coconut flakes, Chia seeds, Banana, Pecans (Any fruit or nut  topping of your choice will do)

Directions:

  • Begin by cooking your oats on the stove top with water. 
  • Once the oats have been brought to a boil then add in 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/4 cup finely shaved coconut, Honey (substitute with desired sweetner), and 1 tbs Vanilla)
  • Once the oats mixture gains the consistence of oatmeal, add in the 2 cups of precooked quinoa, Let sit for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Place the finished  oats and quinoa mixture into a bowl.
  • Top with chia seeds, coconut chips, pecans, and bananas. (or whatever you prefer to top with)
  • Poor remaining coconut milk over dish and enjoy!!
