Instant Pot Make-Ahead Detox Quinoa Breakfast Bowls
Description
The Instant Pot Make-Ahead Detox Quinoa Breakfast Bowls prepare quinoa soaked for at least an hour to improve texture and ease cooking. The quinoa is cooked with canned coconut milk and water, along with ground cinnamon, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This combination produces a subtly sweet and aromatic grain that works well for breakfast.
Cooking on the 'rice' setting under low pressure for 12 minutes softens the quinoa while preserving a tender, fluffy texture. A natural pressure release ensures gentle finishing before the quinoa is divided into six containers for refrigeration. This method enables preparation ahead of time for convenient weekday breakfasts.
When ready to eat, each serving can be enhanced with optional toppings like fresh fruit, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, or a splash of non-dairy milk to add texture and flavor. The recipe is versatile and suitable for those seeking a nutritious, make-ahead breakfast option.
Ingredients
Quinoa:
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa , soaked in water at least 1 hour
- 1 coconut milk 15 ounce can, or milk of choice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional toppings:
- Fresh fruit
- coconut flakes
- hemp hearts
- non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Drain the soaked quinoa and rinse well. Place the quinoa in the bowl of your Instant Pot, along with the coconut milk, water, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Seal the lid with the vent shut, and press the button for the "rice" setting. (Low pressure for 12 minutes.)
- Allow the pressure to naturally release, about 10 minutes, then open the vent at the top and remove the lid. Divide the quinoa into 6 individual containers with lids (about 1 cup of quinoa per container), and store them in the fridge until ready to serve. (They should keep well for one week.)
- When you're ready to eat breakfast, top one serving with non-dairy milk, fresh fruit, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, and any other toppings you like.
