Tipps

Using White Quinoa

White quinoa is used in this recipe as it's less bitter and has a milder flavor than other types, making it perfect for a sweet porridge.

Sweetness Preference

You can adjust the sweetness of your porridge according to preference. Add more or less maple syrup as desired.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave and add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up if needed.

Blueberry Substitute

If blueberries are not available or you want a change, you can substitute them with peeled and sliced green apples.
