Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup quinoa
- 0.5 cup millet
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetening)
- 0.5 cup fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, or raisins)
- 0.25 cup nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa and millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer. This removes any bitterness and ensures a clean taste.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, millet, rolled oats, and water. Stir to mix the grains evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Add the salt and stir.
Simmer the grains uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the grains are tender and the mixture has thickened.
Once cooked, stir in the milk and let it warm through for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or water if desired.
Taste the porridge and, if desired, stir in maple syrup or honey for sweetness.
Divide the porridge into serving bowls. Top with fresh or dried fruit, nuts or seeds, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy a hearty, nourishing start to your day.
