Method
Cook your quinoa (this can be done night before or using leftover quinoa from a different meal). Rinse quinoa first before placing in saucepan, covering with water and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer, cover and allow to cook for 15-20mins. Once quinoa is cooked (you will notice the grains have ‘tails’) drain and place to one side to cool.
Toast your chosen nut by placing in frying pan on a medium heat, shimmying the pan often, until the nuts smell fragrant and toasty, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Add the coconut oil, cinnamon and salt to the pot. While stirring constantly, cook until the cinnamon is fragrant, about 15 seconds.
Add the quinoa to the pot and stir to combine. Cook, while stirring constantly, just until the quinoa is warmed through, about a minute or so. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the maple syrup.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and top with your chosen toppings, enjoy!
