Slight variation to the conventional oatmeal recipe. I use quinoa because I prefer using that grain over oats. Oats can give some people digestive problems, so there is a slight health benefit to it as well. Quinoa also has more protein per serving, so that is an additional benefit. The other ingredients include: honey, coconut oil, and cinnamon. Some times I add vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.

Boil water in a large pot. Once the water is boiled, put the quinoa in the pot. Set the timer for 10 mins. Test the quinoa for texture. If it is still tough, set the timer for 5 minutes. Check on it for every 5 minutes until the texture is to your liking. When the texture is right for you, strain the quinoa and let it cool a little. Put the quinoa back in the pot. The order which you add the ingredients is semi important. Add the coconut oil first so it melts well into the quinoa. Next, add the honey. Finally, add the cinnamon. Mix each ingredient in before adding the next, as the quinoa is dry. This will avoid clumping, and is also why we add the dry ingredients at the end. Let the mixture sit after you have mixed everything together. This is great served cold or warm. I use it as a quick breakfast when on the go, which is why making it in bulk is preferred. Enjoy!
