Ingredients

1/2 cup flax seed
2 -3 cups water
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (heaping)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon stevia (you can use the sweetener of your choice to taste)
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
fruit, of your choice (optional)

Steps:

Grind the flax seeds, 1/4 cup at a time, in a coffee grinder until very fine.
In a small, preferably non-stick, saucepan, place the ground flax and all other ingredients, except the nuts and fruit.
Simmer on low heat until hot and bubbling, stirring frequently. Add more water until it's the consistency that's most pleasing to you; I like it on the thin side.
Spoon into small bowls; top with nuts and fruit.

CREAMY QUINOA PORRIDGE WITH FLAXSEED

Creamy Quinoa Porridge with Flaxseed image

Creamy quinoa porridge with flaxseed is my current cool weather breakfast addiction. Using super soft quinoa flakes, this porridge cooks in a matter of minutes and is so deliciously thick. I also add a spoonful of ground flaxseed for a boost of healthy fats, protein and fibre. Gluten free and dairy free.

Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa flakes
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 pinch cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut milk ((carton, not canned) or any other milk of choice)
3/4 cup water
extra milk (or water) (to thin out porridge as desired)
maple syrup (to serve)
toppings (to serve)

Steps:

Place quinoa flakes, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, 1/2 cup coconut milk and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Stir to combine.
Cook the porridge over a moderate heat on the stove, stirring gently. The porridge should start to bubble and thicken within 2 minutes. Reduce the heat if it starts bubbling too much. Cook for no longer than 3 minutes. Add a little extra water or milk if the porridge becomes too thick during cooking.
Serve the porridge piping hot with a drizzle of maple syrup and toppings of choice.
