Ingredients
Recipe yields 6 servings
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
4 tsp maple syrup
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon plus more for serving
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, water and salt and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, covered, until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in raisins and cranberries (if using), and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with almond milk and additional cinnamon.
