Vegan Chocolate Quinoa Porridge
Hi friends! This is a simple and easy one-pot porridge that you can enjoy for breakfast/brunch.
Chocolate + quinoa may sound like a strange combo, but together they team up to make an incredible dish. This porridge is creamy, chocolatey, protein-packed, delightfully spiced, and SO delicious!
Serve with your favorite fruits (mango, papaya, and kiwi work wonderfully here) and you’ll want to make this again. I added some chestnut spread + berry jam to make it more dessert-ish.
Enjoy it cold during summer, and hot during winter.
Let’s go! đŸ™‚
