Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Quinoa
- 0.5 cup Steel-cut oats
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 3 cups Almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Optional toppings (fresh fruit, shredded coconut, etc.)
Instructions
In a large bowl or a slow cooker insert, combine the rolled oats, quinoa, steel-cut oats, chia seeds, almond milk, water, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Cover the bowl or slow cooker insert with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the grains to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan if you used a bowl. Place the saucepan or slow cooker insert over medium heat.
Cook the cereal for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grains are tender and the mixture is thick and creamy. If using a slow cooker, set it on low heat and stir periodically for similar results.
Remove the cereal from heat and stir in the sliced almonds.
Serve warm in individual bowls with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, shredded coconut, or additional almonds.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add a splash of almond milk and reheat in the microwave or on the stove, stirring until smooth.
