Quinoa Porridge with Steamed Pears
Steaming pears in a combination steam oven produces a nicely steamed pear that holds its shape and colour.
This protein packed breakfast is full of colour, flavour and nutrients. It is really versatile, play around with flavours with different types of milks or fruits.

1 cup of coconut milk (or any other milk)

This looks delicious! I’ve just gotten in the habit of poaching fruit recently to try and encourage my toddler to eat more yoghurt. I made traditional porridge a couple of times to go with it and I really enjoyed it (even if she wasn’t that excited).. This looks like a great alternative. I think I’ll give it a go on the stove top.. hopefully little miss will enjoy it too
Oh my YUM!!! I think I might be having this for breakfast very soon!
