How to Make Quinoa Rice Breakfast Gluten Free Dairy Free

  1. Rinse 1 cup quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve, rubbing gently between your fingers to remove any debris.
  2. Drain the quinoa completely.
  3. Heat a small saucepan (about 1.5-quart) over medium-high heat. Add the rinsed quinoa and dry toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.
  4. Add 2 cups of water, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and a pinch of saffron threads (about 1/8 teaspoon).
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is cooked and most of the water is absorbed.
  7. If there is still significant liquid remaining, add 1/4 cup more water and stir to combine.
  8. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup gluten-free rice cereal, adding a small amount at a time and stirring thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup, to taste).
  10. Serve warm as is or with your favorite dairy-free milk (such as rice milk or oat milk). Enjoy!
  11. Optional: Add fresh berries or fruit for extra flavor and nutrition.
