How to Make Raisin Spice Hot Cereal With Quinoa

  1. Rinse 1 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitter coating.
  2. Drain the quinoa completely.
  3. Toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden (3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  4. In the same saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup rolled oats. Cover and cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until the quinoa and oats are tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Stir in the toasted almonds and 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk (such as vanilla yogurt, milk, soymilk, or half-and-half) if desired.
