Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 0.5 cup oatmeal
- 2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 piece banana, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh sieve to remove any bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, oatmeal, and almond milk.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.
Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is tender and most of the almond milk is absorbed.
Stir in the chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and honey (or maple syrup) until evenly distributed.
Divide the cooked grain mixture between two bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced banana, fresh berries, chopped almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
Optionally, sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut on top for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your super healthy grain breakfast!
