Equipment

Rice Cooker

Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa
1 can coconut milk - reduced fat or full fat is fine
1/3 cup water - if you prefer a looser creamier texture you can go up to a 1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons coconut sugar - optional
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Add all ingredients to your rice cooker.
Mix well to combine.
Switch your rice cooker to the cook setting. My rice cooker only has a "cook" or "keep warm" option. If yours has more options cook it on the white rice setting or simply set it on time cook for 20 minutes.
NOTE: I have a small rice cooker with a removeable glass lid. I keep my lid slightly tilted open so that the liquid doesn't bubble over. If you have a larger rice cooker with a lid that seals shut this shouldn't be a problem.
Carefully remove the lid and stir your breakfast quinoa 2 times during cooking. This ensures it won't get burnt on the bottom.
After about 20 minutes check on your breakfast quinoa. If the quinoa looks fluffy switch your rice cooker to the warm setting. Even if it looks like there's a lot of liquid left, that's ok as long as the quinoa has become fluffy. Let it sit on the warm setting for about 15 minutes and it will absorb more liquid.
After it has sat on the warm setting stir and enjoy.
