Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal with Peaches and Toasted Pecans
Here’s a tasty and nutritious way to start your day. Lightly sweetened vanilla quinoa can be kept, tightly sealed in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Eat cold, right from the fridge or warm slightly, in the microwave before finishing with fruit, nuts and milk whenever you’re ready. Try switching it up and adding seasonal fruit like berries, mango, apple or banana instead of peaches.

Directions
Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar with cinnamon; mix well and set aside.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add quinoa, stir and boil gently until tender and the germ ring is visible, about 12 minutes. Drain in a fine mesh strainer, cover with a clean dishtowel and let sit 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, orange zest and vanilla.
To serve, divide quinoa evenly among 4 bowls. Top with peaches, toasted pecans, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and pour 1/4 cup almond milk into each bowl.
