Ingredients
-
1½ cups (360 mL)unsweetened soy milk
-
1⅔ cups (399 mL)canned full-fat coconut milk
-
3 Tbsp (41 g)brown sugar
-
3 Tbsp (21 g)ground flaxseeds
-
-
½ tspground cinnamon
-
¼ tspsalt
-
2medium bananas, sliced
Optional toppings
-
fresh berries
-
unsweetened coconut yogurt
Directions
- In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, soy and coconut milk, brown sugar, flaxseed, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
- Add the banana slices into the porridge and stir. Simmer covered for 20 - 25 minutes. The quinoa should have absorbed all the liquid and the bananas should be cooked down.
- Remove from the heat and cover for 5 minutes before serving up to ensure the quinoa fully softens.
- Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut and a plant-based yogurt. Enjoy!
Notes
- We prefer the texture of slightly overcooked quinoa, compared to slightly undercooked. If in doubt, give it an extra few minutes of simmering time.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Un beau bonjour du Québec!
This is a really good recipe! Quinoa is a interesting change instead of oatmeal.
Continue your good work!
Mmmm… I’m addicted! This porridge is rich, velvety and tastes like brownies for breakfast! I’ll be having this over and over again. Thanks PUL team!
Not overly sweet and subtle cocoa flavor. Reminded me of the Malt-O-Meal I ate as a child. :) Also, I'm excited to try it cold.
Absolutely Delicious! Will make again and again! Can't wait for the left overs!
Very easy and very tasty. I loved pudding consistency that the porridge has.
I had ithe porridge today for breakfast. I will make soon again for my family ☺️because they have to try it.
This porridge looks really interesting, looking forward to trying it! Quick question, I didn't see you add bananas in your video, is it possible to make this recipe without them? Love your videos, decided I was going to dig in & start trying some of your recipes:))
This porridge tasted really good! Even my (sometimes very picky) kids liked it so much - thank you for sharing! Can't wait to finally see your app :-) greetings from Austria!!
This is the first time I tried quinoa in a desert. It has delightful pudding like consistency and tastes even better the next day.
Very delicious recipe :)
I need to mix up the usual oatmeal routine, and this was so easy!
Make this morning. Thanks for the recipe m. A good alternative to rice pudding and a way to have a little more protein :)
So good! I am trying to incorporate more quinoa to my diet, and this is a great idea beyond just a dinnertime rice replacement. Looking forward to the leftovers!
This was delicious! Made it this morning and my whole family loved it
Sadia, it was delicious and so easy to make. Thank you!
I made this today for breakfast. I substituted the brown sugar for maple syrup 'cause that's what I only have on hand. It is kind of similar to "champurrado" only this one tastes a lot better! I love the texture of the quinoa and the creaminess from the addition of the coconut milk. I will definitely be making this again 🥳
Yummm I'll try making it with oats since I don't have quinoa at hand and really want to try it out 😍😍😍
