I got leftover fresh cranberries that I needed to use up so I invented this Vegan & Gluten-free Warm Quinoa Porridge!
t is such a lovely, warm, quinoa flakes porridge! You can add whatever you want, but I made it like this. The key is to make it not too sweet! 😉
Recipe: For 4 persons
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh cranberries (105 gr)
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (500 ml)
1 cup quinoa flakes (110 gr)
2 teaspoons flaxseed
1 + 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup pecan halves (40 gr)
1/4 cup maple syrup, grade C (60 ml)
Method:
1. Take a medium cooking pot & add cranberries, almond milk, quinoa flakes, flaxseed, ground cinnamon & pecan halves. Bring to the boil & let it cook on medium-high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until your quinoa flakes are cooked & swollen. Stir often! When your cranberries are hot enough, they start to burst. Leave a few of them whole & crush the other one’s with a fork & spoon. This is what you want. Now, stir everything through & taste. I added 60 ml of maple syrup, grade C in total. You want it to be a bit sweet nut you must taste the sourness of the cranberries a bit! This is the way, I like it, so it is up to you!
2. Leave it to rest a few minutes & serve at once with loved ones! I drank this with a lovely rooibos cranberry tea! 🙂 Yum yum! 🙂 ♥ Stay Tuned & subscribe by email! Join 1,800 email subscribers now!!! It is free!!!! Click the link here below to subscribe!!!

What a brill idea Sophie. I love a bowl of porridge in the dead of winter, adding cranberries would make it super delicious. I shall bookmark for when it gets cooler. Nice use of the leftovers too, very creative. 🙂
Thanks, dear Anna! xxx
brillian combo-looks yumm Dear Sophie..
Thanks, dear Chitra! Xxx
I love porridge! 🙂
I make mine with oats but I love quinoa and will definitely try this soon 🙂
Do you think it will be faster to let the quinoa soak over night? 🙂
No, not at all! I used quinoa flakes, they only need 10 minutes of cooking. You can buy them at an organic food shop! I usually eat oat porridge but I had quinoa flakes in my pantry that I had to use up! It is also gluten-free wich Inlike! 😀😀
Oh that I’ve never heard of 🙂 it sounds great, I’ll go look if we have it in Austria 🙂
Okay! ☺️☺️
A fantastic idea! Your porridge has everything I love, Sophie.
Yay, Angie! Enjoy it while sipping on some good rooibos cranberry tea! ☺️
That is a great use for leftover cranberries! I just love the tartness of cranberries and they would be perfect in this quinoa porridge. A lovely start to the day! xx
Me too, dear Charlie! Xxx
Sadly we don’t get fresh cranberries here.
You can use dried cranberries that you have soaked into warm healthy apple juice,..that works too! x
