Breakfast Quinoa

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the pecans in a pie plate and bake for about 10 minutes, until toasted and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the honey with 1 tablespoon of water at high power until steaming, about 30 seconds. Add the blackberries and stir gently to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Add 1 1/4 cups of the milk along with the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer gently for15 minutes.
