I really wanted to make some type of bar breakfast this morning, but really didn't have time. I certainly didn't feel like cereal because I've had that a couple of days in a row - not sure what happened to my good breakfast planning. So, I remembered this quinoa I had seen on
$5 dinner mom's website and decided to give it a try. I did cut the recipe down to 1 serving size, but for the most part, proportions are the same - I just used a bit more cinnamon. This was pretty easy and tasty - took 15 minutes to cook, but that worked just fine - I cleaned up and took care of other people's breakfast while it cooked. This was plenty sweet - maybe a touch too sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup quinoa
- dash salt
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar (I may try honey next time)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- a few walnuts, chopped
- a few raisins
Directions
- Bring water to boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa. Return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook 14 minutes.
- Remove lid, add brown sugar and cinnamon, continue to boil for 1-2 more minutes until liquid is reduced and quinoa is done. I stirred the walnuts and raisins in just before taking it off the stove.
- Serve as you would oatmeal - I had mine with a little milk.
