Foodie Friday: Quinoa Oatmeal
Happy Foodie Friday everyone! What is the one saying that people always hear in the morning? The one that parents preach to their children but somehow always forget it for themselves. The one that goes ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
Breakfast isn’t a must, but it is a lot better to start your day full of nutrient because you never know what they day can throw at you! Better to be prepared than left doing work and being hungry.
The typical issue people run into is they don’t like breakfast foods. I’m not sure who came up with the idea of only able to have breakfast food for breakfast...but get that idea out of your head! All foods are going to nourish your body, no matter the time!
Today we have a fun spin on the traditional oats, but with something even better. Quinoa has more fiber than the regular oatmeal and also has more protein!
Ingredients: 2 servings
- 1 cup dry quinoa rinse
- 2 cups milk
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- fruit for topping
Instructions:
1. Place rinsed quinoa, milk and cinnamon in a large saucepan or dutch oven and bring mixture to a boil.
2. Reduce to a simmer, place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for 20-25 minutes. If the mixture starts bubbling too much, place the lid ajar and cook that way. You'll know it's done once the quinoa is soft and has absorbed most of the milk. At this time, you should remove it from the heat and stir in the syrup.
3. Serve quinoa with fresh fruit and maybe a little extra milk over top.
4. Enjoy!
