Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (or certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free option)
- 1 cup quinoa
- 0.5 cup millet
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa and millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any bitter coating.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, quinoa, millet, and chia seeds.
Add the almond milk (or milk of choice), salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract.
Fold in the dried cranberries (or raisins) and chopped almonds (or walnuts).
Spoon the mixture into serving bowls and top with fresh fruit such as berries or banana slices.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, mixed whole grain breakfast!
