How to make Quinoa in Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker?
Quinoa cooks the fastest in Instant Pot or any other Electric Pressure Cooker like Mealthy. It is the easiest thing to cook in the Electric Pressure Cooker.
This is what I do and has always worked well with me.
- ALWAYS WASH QUINOA in a strainer before using it.
- I always take equal parts of Quinoa and Liquid. For 1 cup Quinoa, I take 1 cup water. You may choose Vegan Broth or Plant Based Milk to cook it.
- Cook Quinoa for 2 minutes exactly in Instant Pot. Follow NPR (natural pressure release).
- Either you are making it savory or sweet, the time and proportions remain the same.
- Unless you are making a Porridge, you add more liquid for the right consistency.
Why Should I try this Vegan Quinoa Recipe?
Since this recipe is so amazing, you must try it. My reasons are fairly simple.
- It is a VEGAN QUINOA RECIPE. Plant Based Milk makes it much lighter on digestion.
- This Quinoa Porridge is made in INSTANT POT. I have used 3 quart but you may use any model that you have. Also you can make in any model of Electric Pressure Cooker that you might have like MEALTHY Multipot.
- This recipe needs only 2 MAIN INGREDIENTS. Brilliant, right?
- Also, Vegan Quinoa for Breakfast needs only 2 Minutes in Electric Pressure Cooker.
- You can make it AHEAD OF TIME and consume it over the period of one week.
- Vegan Quinoa Porridge is a complete healthy Breakfast to start your day.
- I have made it SUGAR FREE QUINOA PORRIDGE RECIPE. You can later sweeten it with sweetener of your choice. I used Organic Maple Syrup.

Pure genius for a quick, healthy and satisfying breakfast. Especially like that it stays good for several days so I can make once for the week. Always looking for good quinoa recipes, thank you! Confused about one point — at the top of your blog in step 2, you say you always use a 1:1 ratio of quinoa and liquid, but in the directions it’s a much higher ratio. I’ve always used a 1:1 ratio as well. Please advise. And thank you for the awesome ideas!!!
Hello Elaine, thanks!
The 1:1 ratio is perfect when you are cooking quinoa to be used in other recipes as one ingredient.
But this recipe calls for quinoa porridge, hence more liquid. I hope I answered your question.
Thanks for the rich tasting easy breakfast porridge! I skipped the syrup, raisins and nuts but did use fresh blueberries and blackberries. I made mine with 4C of unsweetened chocolate almond milk. I used 4C since it was in the range you mentioned and I wanted to use up a full container. It worked out perfectly using your directions and came out very rich tasting. One note though is that the time is a lot longer than 2 minutes when you add in the 10 min pre-heating and the time for the natural release (I didn’t track it but I’m thinking it was probably another 10 min or so). Still, even though the cook time was longer than on the stove top I know cooking the quinoa in milk would have been much messier on the stove so that’s a definite advantage to this method.
So glad to hear that
I have never tried a breakfast porridge with quinoa and I have never cooked quinoa in IP either. I have to give this method a try. 2 minutes in the morning to cook breakfast is wonderful and totally doable!
Yes totally doable 🙂
Thanks dear!
