Introduction

I found this recipe online, though I altered it just a tad. I have the nutrition as 1 serving, but it could be split into 2 small servings.

The original calls for steel cut oats, but rolled oats makes it a quicker breakfast, as well as being something that's more likely to be in the cupboard. :)

Ingredients

    1/2 C water
    1/4 C quinoa
    1/4 C rolled oats (I use old fashioned)
    1/4 C crushed pineapple, or pineapple juice
    1 T brown sugar or molasses
    Raisins or other dried fruit to taste (not in nutrition info)

Directions

Rinse grains (optional).

Add water, brown sugar and quinoa to a small pot. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer for 10 minutes.

Add oats and fruit and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or at least until oats are cooked and liquid is absorbed.

I like to add cinnamon to mine.

Makes 1 serving (approx. 1 to 1 1/2 cups.)
