Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup quinoa (white) See photo.
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, divided
  • 1 large bananas (optional)
  • NOTE: For more sweeteness, sprinkle lightly with light brown sugar.

Instructions

  • Pour water into a small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, pour 1/4 quinoa into a small strainer. Remove dark pieces/debris. Rinse thoroughly in warm water. See recipe notes.
  • Pour rinsed quinoa into boiling hot water and stir.
  • Cover with lid. Simmer over low-medium heat until all water is absorbed. Quinoa cooks quickly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Fluff with fork. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Cool and taste. If desired, add remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.
  • Top with a sliced banana (optional). Serve hot or warm.
