A Breakfast Chocolate Quinoa Chia Pudding!
While this may be a breakfast bowl, I actually had it for my evening meal. Porridge doesn’t have to be reserved for breakfast only.
Putting that aside, quinoa is usually associated with being a substitute for rice - that too in savory recipes. But it can be used for so much more; Sweet or dessert recipes are entirely possible with quinoa - makes them a little more healthy too.
This “seed” - yes, its not a grain - is also a good alternative for oatmeal, and makes a great gluten free porridge.

Recipe details
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Quinoa, Uncooked (60g)
- ⅔ cup Water
- ⅔ cup Coconut Milk
- 1 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds (14g)
- 4 tsp Maple Syrup Stevia-Sweetened (20ml)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Place quinoa in a bowl and rinse under running water for at least 1 minute. This is required to remove the bitter taste.
- Heat a small saucepan or pot over medium heat. When hot, add quinoa and toast for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, to dry up water.
- When quinoa starts to slightly pop, add water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.
- Transfer quinoa to a bowl, add remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
