To make the quinoa breakfast porridge: Place the quinoa, dairy-free milk, water, cocoa powder and maple syrup in a medium size saucepan (with a tight lid) and heat it over medium high heat. Bring it to a boil, turn the heat down to low, and put the lid on. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, 15-18 minutes. Once cooked, let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes. Before serving, fluff it with a fork.
