Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Quinoa
- 0.25 cup Millet
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruits (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa and millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh sieve to remove any bitterness or debris, then set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the rinsed quinoa, millet, and rolled oats.
Step 4
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the grains for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
When the grains are tender and the cereal has reached a creamy consistency, stir in the ground flaxseed and optional milk for added creaminess.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cereal rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds, for added texture and flavor. Enjoy!
