Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional)
- 1 small banana banana slices (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, rinsed quinoa, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats and quinoa are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Once the grains are cooked, stir in the dairy-free milk, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup to sweeten.
Divide the porridge between two bowls and top with fresh berries and banana slices if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy a nutritious nut-free, protein-packed breakfast!
