Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Quinoa
- 0.25 cup Millet
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruits (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa and millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh sieve to remove any bitterness or debris, then set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the rinsed quinoa, millet, and rolled oats.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the grains for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
When the grains are tender and the cereal has reached a creamy consistency, stir in the ground flaxseed and optional milk for added creaminess.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cereal rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds, for added texture and flavor. Enjoy!
