Raisin Pudding Breakfast Porridge

A healthier version of rice pudding. It feels like you’re eating dessert for breakfast! Of course, it can also be served as a dessert as well.

2 1/2 c Milk (I use almond milk)

1c quinoa

1/4c raisins

2 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup

1/4 tsp cinnamon

2 large eggs (can use 1/8 c chia seeds as a binder instead)

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 Tbsp butter (I use coconut oil)

Combine milk, quinoa, raisin, cinnamon & honey in a medium saucepan.

Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and continue cookie, stirring occasionally until the quinoa is tender (about 5 minutes).

Beat the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Temper the eggs by whisking in 1 tsp of the cooked quinoa. Repeat 7 times, whisking each addition.

Stir the egg mixture into the saucepan. Continue to cook on low heat until the mixture thickens (about 3-5minutes).

Stir in butter and remove from heat. Serve immediately.

Yummy!!

This is our endeavor to document our adventures of parenting.

It is our aspiration to take on parenthood with an holistic approach, an open-mind and open-heart. Everyone’s experience is unique and while ours may seem unconventional, ultimately we all do our best. It is important to have fun- smile lots, laugh loud and love unconditionally.

We are particularly interested in raising our child “organically” which sounds a bit cliche, but it is genuine. While I was pregnant I read a book about elimination communication, which essentially entails potty training at any age. Most people in North America wait until on average 2 years of age. We have decided to start at 5 weeks! Read more on the various blog posts!
