Wintertime Warmer

Well folks it's a cold winter morning in England and I have a recipe that is absolutely perfect for taking off that chill! Morning after morning, I have been stuck in the same old cereal, toast, porridge routine, a cycle that is easily avoided with this little dandy.

This recipe uses quinoa as the base, so in addition to being delicious, it's also healthy! And guess what? There's only three ingredients--it's basically fail proof! Three simple ingredients that make for a luxurious morning treat!






















Wintertime Warmer
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 medium ripe banana
- a sprinkling of nutmeg

Method

  1. Rinse your quinoa! This step is important because it gets rid of any bitterness that will come out in cooking. Boil in a saucepan for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until a little white ring forms around the actually grain.
  2. Mash the banana in a dish and add to the pot. Cook the quinoa and banana until the banana smells caramel-ish. This is where the magic happens and all those delicious natural sugars are released.
  3. Pour into dish and sprinkle with nutmeg! 
Done! Wasn't that delightfully easy? 

Let me know feedback below! Until next time dandies, stay lovely!
