Milk Chocolate Maple Quinoa

In a large saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil over high heat. Stir in quinoa and cocoa powder, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until al dente. (In quinoa land, this means that the spirals have just started sprouting.)

Add milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Cook over medium-low, uncovered, stirring regularly to avoid sticking to the pan. The quinoa should still be thickening. Once it looks creamy and fluffy, remove from heat. Add your choice of toppings and enjoy!

Mornings get a little brighter with maple and chocolate added to this superfood bowl.
