Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 ½ cups vanilla plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- A handful of dried cherries cranberries, or raisins
Instructions
- Combine quinoa, plant-based milk, and orange juice over medium heat, stirring in all the seasonings and mixing until fully incorporated.
- Let it come to a light boil and then up the heat to medium-high until the boil becomes more aggressive. Let it bubble for a minute, then drop the heat to simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until tender, placing a lid on top.
- Serve hot with fresh orange zest, nutmeg, and dried fruit!

Notes
- Orange Bowl. If you are serving this dish for brunch with guests, make it fancier by serving them on orange peels as bowls. Hollow out the center and fill with this cooked Cinnamon Orange Quinoa and serve.
- No zester, no problem. A vegetable peeler and a sharp knife are all you need to make orange zest. Avoid the bitter white pith by removing only a tiny strip of peel at a time. Using a sharp knife, cut them into strips or finely chop them.
- Roll and Squeeze. Roll the orange around on your kitchen counter a few times before squeezing it. Rolling it causes the fruit’s cell walls to disintegrate, allowing the juice to flow more freely. Also, because cold fruit yields less juice, slightly warm the orange before squeezing it.
