Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup dried fruit (such as goji berries, cranberries, or barberries)
1/2 cup steel-cut oats
1/2 cup well-rinsed quinoa
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
Milk
Maple syrup
Toasted shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Toasted walnuts

Steps:

  • Bring 1/2 cup dried fruit (such as goji berries, cranberries, or barberries), 1/2 cup steel-cut oats, 1/2 cup well-rinsed quinoa, 1/4 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom, and 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover and let sit off heat overnight. (Alternatively, bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grains are tender, 20-25 minutes.)
  • Before serving, reheat cereal in saucepan, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and adding water if needed, until warmed through, 5-8 minutes. Serve with milk, maple syrup, toasted shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and toasted walnuts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right quinoa: For this recipe, it's best to use a quick-cooking variety of quinoa, such as white or red quinoa.
  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly: This helps remove the bitter coating from the quinoa and prevents it from becoming slimy.
  • Use a large pot: The quinoa will expand as it cooks, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
  • Bring the quinoa to a boil, then reduce the heat: This helps the quinoa cook evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the maple syrup and walnuts: Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in the maple syrup and walnuts. You can also add other toppings of your choice, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or milk.
  • Serve immediately: Hot cereal is best served immediately, so that it doesn't have time to cool and become mushy.

Conclusion:

This maple walnut hot cereal with quinoa is a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that is perfect for busy mornings. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy breakfast, give this recipe a try!
