Peanut Butter Quinoa with Chia Cherry Jam

Ingredients

Servings:
1cup quinoa
3cups Almond or Cashew Milk
.25Cup Peanut Butter
1/2tsp Cinnamon, ground
1/4tsp Kosher Salt (optional)
2cups frozen Cherries
3tbsp Maple Syrup, pure
2tbsp Chia Seeds

Instructions

In a medium to large saucepan over medium heat, add quinoa, milk, peanut butter, cinnamon, and salt (if using). Bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer and cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed (approx. 15 min).  Keep an eye on the mixture as it cooks – it bubbles up quick and will spill over the sides of your pot if you let it get and stay too hot.  Remove from heat but keep covered until ready to serve.

In a small saucepan over medium heat add frozen cherries, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Bring to a boil then turn down heat and simmer until sauce thickens (approx. 15 min). Remove from heat.

Add quinoa to a bowl and top with cherry jam, a high protein yogurt like Siggi’s Cherry Yogurt, a splash of milk and serve.

Makes four servings. Note: nutritional information does not include yogurt.
