Peanut Butter Quinoa Flake Porridge is my favorite go to breakfast any day. It perfectly suits most types of diet and is an awesome alternative to oats. This porridge is creamy, thick, buttery and nutritious. It contains the required protein for the morning meal and keeps you satisfied for longer.
It tastes even better when topped with a dollop of extra peanut butter and shaved dark chocolate. Well, it’s drool worthy and a complete meal for all ages.
Love peanut butter quinoa flake porridge
I like the idea of porridge because it’s warm, filling, chewy, and easy to carry in a car if I am in a hurry. It’s absolutely mess free and yet scrumptious in all respect. This porridge soft, moist and easy to swallow for small kids and toddlers as well. It’s a great meal to add protein into their diet and start their mornings in a healthy way.
I like quick and easy recipes especially if it is a breakfast. Mostly, I depend on smoothies for my breakfast but I like some variations once in a while. I have cooked few recipes with quinoa flakes earlier and I definitely love it. This time I tried Peanut Butter Quinoa Flake Porridge with it. I must say I am head over heels in love with this breakfast recipe.
What toppings to pair with peanut butter quinoa flake porridge.
This porridge is incredibly simple. It requires 5 main ingredients and one pot. The toppings are of your choice but I prefer shaved chocolate and fresh strawberries. Sometimes, I add extra peanut butter if I am peanut crazy on a particular day. I am on a low sugar diet so for me I didn’t need any sweetener. However, if you are looking for a sweeter porridge drizzle some pure maple syrup over it and devour…devour….devour…..
