We have been in a breakfast rut for a few months now. We have tried so many breakfast recipes for oats and quinoa, and my kids haven’t liked any of them. Today I mashed together a few different ideas and came up with something they did like. Well- my daughters liked … my son still prefers oatmeal and an egg sandwich. *sigh*
The struggle of feeding 4 children real, nutritious food is real, y’all.
This makes about 4+ servings, depending on how much your children eat. This would last us about 2 days in our house, with 2 of 4 kids eating a bowl.
Quinoa Breakfast Mash
Ingredients
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 2 cups uncooked quinoa
- 4-8 TB of Pure Grade B Maple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- salt to taste
- your choice of topping- dried coconut, craisins, raisins, sliced banana, etc
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (exclude toppings) to a pot
- Bring to a boil
- partially cover and turn down to a simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes
- Serve with dried coconut sprinkled on top
This recipe is prepared dairy free, but I imagine it would be even more delicious with a pat of butter on top. =)
