Description
This Chunky Monkey Quinoa Breakfast Bowl is a wholesome, satisfying breakfast that combines quinoa, banana, and peanut butter into a deliciously energizing start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa (Make sure to rinse and drain it well for light and fluffy results.)
- 2 cups water (Use filtered water for the best flavor and health benefits.)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (Enhances the natural flavor of quinoa, making it a delicious base.)
- ¾ cup non-dairy milk (Almond, coconut, or oat milk will add a nice creaminess.)
- 1 large ripe banana (The sweetness of the banana adds natural sugars and moisture to your bowl.)
- 3–4 tablespoons peanut butter (Provides a rich, nutty flavor and healthy fats for energy.)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (This is what elevates your bowl into a chocolatey dream, perfect for indulgence!)
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (Drizzle this in for a touch of natural sweetness that complements the chocolate.)
Instructions
- In a medium pot, add the rinsed quinoa and sea salt to 2 cups of low-boiling water. Cover with a lid and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes—watch for that fluffy texture!
- Once the quinoa is fluffy, uncover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the non-dairy milk, peanut butter, mashed banana, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Warm for 1-2 minutes until everything combines beautifully.
- Add your favorite toppings and a splash more milk if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy each delightful bite!
