Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white quinoa, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Toasted pecans and sliced banana, for serving

Method
 

  1. Combine rinsed quinoa, 1 1/2 cups milk, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in rolled oats and remaining 1/2 cup milk. Cook uncovered over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy and tender.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Taste and adjust sweetness or salt.
  4. Spoon into bowls and top with toasted pecans and sliced banana. Serve hot.

Notes

If you like a looser oatmeal, hold back a few tablespoons of milk and stir it in just before serving. Leftovers thicken overnight, so add a splash of milk when reheating.
