This dark chocolate quinoa porridge turns rinsed quinoa, almond milk, cocoa, vanilla, and sugar into a warm four-serving breakfast. It simmers gently until tender, then the cocoa is stirred in off the heat for a smooth chocolate finish.
Why This Dark Chocolate Quinoa Porridge Works
Quinoa provides a hearty base while almond milk keeps the porridge creamy. Vanilla and coconut sugar or brown sugar round out the cocoa flavor. Extra almond milk and the listed toppings are optional, so every bowl can be finished to taste.
