How to Make Blueberry Flax Hot Cereal With Quinoa

  1. Rinse 1/2 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitter saponins.
  2. Drain the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve.
  3. Combine the rinsed quinoa and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through and the water is absorbed.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats (or add 1/2 cup rolled oats after 7 minutes of quinoa cooking time). Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the oats are tender.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of flax seeds.
  7. Gently fold in 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite milk, cream, or yogurt (optional).
