Before You Start

Measure the cooked quinoa and water, slice the banana, and set the cinnamon and pumpkin seeds within reach so nothing sits and scorches while you hunt for it.

How To Make It
  1. Add the cooked quinoa and water to a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium high, about 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface just begins to bubble at the edges.
  2. Turn the heat to medium low and cook, stirring now and then so it does not catch, 4 to 5 minutes, until it looks soft and creamy rather than watery.
  3. Stir in the cinnamon off the heat so it blooms into the quinoa without turning bitter.
  4. Spoon into a bowl, top with the sliced banana and pumpkin seeds, and serve warm.
Fix It: If it turns stiff and gluey, loosen it with a splash of hot water and stir; the quinoa keeps drinking up liquid as it sits.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
