Preparation
Step 1
Bring the coconut milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the quinoa and salt and cook for 15 minutes or so, until the quinoa is cooked. Add the Bai5, oats, cinnamon, and salt – cook for just a few more minutes to soften the oats.
Step 2
In a small nonstick skillet over medium high heat, add the coconut flakes and shake in the pan until lightly toasted. You can also do this in the oven, but I find it’s a bit faster on the stovetop.
Step 3
Serve up the porridge topped with toasted coconut and anything your heart desires.
Step 4

Chef's notes
For a thicker porridge, only add about 1/2 cup of the Bai5. For a softer porridge, add the full cup. I usually start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed as the mixture soaks up more moisture.
Bonus:
you can use other seeds or grains! For example, I made this with 1 cup quinoa and 1/2 freekeh. Just use your best judgement for how much moisture and how much time each grain will need in order to cook.
