Method

Your notes

1

Gather your ingredients.

2

Place the quinoa and water into a saucepan. Cover, place over a medium heat, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, until all of the water has been absorbed.

3

Add the oats, chia seeds, plant based milk and cinnamon and cook for a further 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until smooth and creamy.

4

Roughly mash the banana.

5

Then gently mix the banana and most of the blueberries through the porridge. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until the berries are beginning to burst.

6

Serve the porridge in bowls topped with the remaining blueberries and a drizzle of almond butter.
