Pumpkin-Coconut Quinoa Breakfast

Looking for a tasty, flexible, and very healthy breakfast option? You have found it!

This is a really old recipe and I think I have the right measurements for ingredients--just take them with a grain of salt ;).

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and picked over
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (the drinking kind)
1/2 cup Sultana raisins
3 T. brown sugar or maple syrup (adjust to your taste)
1 t. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Toppings, as you like.

Instructions:

Place the coconut milk and pumpkin puree in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a simmer and add the quinoa.  Place the lid on top and turn heat to low, and allow to cook about 20 minutes (according to package time, of course), until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through.  You may need to add a bit more coconut milk or puree as it cooks.

Stir in the brown sugar/syrup, vanilla, and raisins once it's done.

Top with your favorite nuts, berries, flax seeds, or other fruits!  Very easy, very filling, and very good for you!
