Start your day with a nutritious and delicious Orange Honey Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. This wholesome recipe combines the protein power of quinoa with the refreshing taste of oranges and a touch of sweetness from honey. A sprinkle of cinnamon ties all the flavors together, making it a perfect breakfast choice to kickstart your morning.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by thoroughly rinsing the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. This helps to remove any bitterness from the quinoa's natural coating.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1 cup (240ml) of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the quinoa sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork once done.
- While the quinoa is cooking, peel the oranges and separate them into segments.
- You can also chop the orange segments into smaller pieces if you prefer smaller bites.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey and cinnamon. Stir well to make sure the cinnamon is evenly distributed within the honey.
- Divide the cooked quinoa into serving bowls.
- Distribute the orange segments evenly over the quinoa.
- Drizzle the honey and cinnamon mixture over the top of the quinoa and oranges.
- Mix slightly to evenly distribute the flavors and enjoy your Orange Honey Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowl warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove its natural saponin coating, which can make it taste bitter.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor and added nutrients.
- If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add a bit more honey to taste.
- Garnish with additional orange slices or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor.
- You can prepare the quinoa in advance and store it in the refrigerator for quick and easy assembly on busy mornings.
With just a few ingredients, this Orange Honey Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast Bowl is a simple yet delightful way to enjoy a healthy breakfast. The combination of quinoa, oranges, honey, and cinnamon not only offers a burst of flavor but also provides a balanced meal to power you through the day. Give it a try and make your mornings brighter and healthier!
