Vanilla Oat and Quinoa Porridge
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 tsp sugar
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 handful fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the oats - in a medium saucepan, combine the oats, quinoa, water and milk. Stir in the vanilla extract and sugar.
- Cook the porridge - place the saucepan over a medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the oats have softened and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve - remove the porridge from the heat and divide it between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced banana and fresh blueberries. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness level or use a different ingredient to sweeten the dish such as mashed banana or maple syrup.
- If the porridge is too thick after cooking, add some more milk or water to loosen the consistency.
- Use any other fruit if you prefer or add nuts or seeds.
- This porridge can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly with a splash of milk or water.
- It can be frozen in portions for up to a month. It will need to be thawed overnight or in the microwave. Reheat the thawed porridge on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
