The quinoa gives your morning a little extra protein.
QUINOA OATMEAL:
1 cup steel cut oats
½ cup quinoa
1 teaspoon olive or coconut oil
4 cups water
½ cup almond milk (or whatever milk you prefer)
- Heat up the water in a kettle on the stovetop or in the microwave until it is near boiling.
- Put the quinoa in a strainer and rinse to prevent a bitter taste after you cook it.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the steel cut oats.
- Stir them around and cook until they smell kinda toasty, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the quinoa and the water and bring it all to a boil
- (this won’t take long because the water should already be hot).
- Turn down the heat on the pot and let it simmer. Let it cook for about 20 minutes.
- It should taste done now, not hard but still a little chewy.
- Add the milk and turn off the heat.
- Serve with fresh fruit, nuts, maple syrup, and maybe brown sugar.
