Toasted Coconut & Almond Quinoa Oatmeal

Toasted Coconut & Almond Quinoa Oatmeal by Momma Cuisine. Sponsored by Living Now.

My kids absolutely love oatmeal for breakfast. In fact, I make it for them at least 3 times a week. When I was thinking of quinoa recipes, I thought of simply adding it to my kids oatmeal to add extra protein and grain without them really noticing or changing the texture profile too much. I dug in myself and I must say, it's pretty darn amazing!quinoaoatmeal4  
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup Now Foods quinoa
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 raw slivered almonds
  • 4 tablespoons honey
Instructions:
Combine milk, water, quinoa and oats in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, stirring occasionally until oats and quinoa are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn heat off.


Put the shredded coconut and slivered almonds in a saute pan and toast on medium heat until the coconut turns a slight golden brown.

Top the quinoa oatmeal with toasted coconut & almond topping and honey.
