Microwave Instructions

- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add quinoa, milk, maple syrup and salt. Cover with a lid or plate and microwave for 6 minutes. Stir and return to the microwave and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the microwave and allow quinoa to set for 5 more minutes.
Assembly
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Divide into four bowls and serve as you would oatmeal with fruits and toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days in the fridge.
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make the quinoa oatmeal in the microwave or on the stovetop in advance. To reheat, simply add a splash of milk or water and microwave for 1 minute.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. You can also use any type of milk you'd like and any sweetener of choice.
- * Please note the nutrition label does not include any toppings.
