Sweet Quinoa Breakfast

I'm sure I may sound like a broken record, but I was so sad to not be able to eat my favorite cereals after learning I had Celiac. Rice Chex is GF and great, but variety is essential.

Do you remember how last week I recommended you cook more quinoa when you make the chili recipe? This recipe is the reason why. I used to love Cream of Wheat, but alas it isn't GF. I also enjoy oatmeal, but truly GF oats seem like a rarity. The quinoa breakfast reminds me of the two breakfast favorites, but without the worry of consuming gluten.

Tips, tricks, suggestions and thoughts:

1. This is very delicious with vanilla almond milk. I buy the kind that is only 30 calories a cup and doesn't have a ton of sugar.
2. Cinnamon and nutmeg, two spices that are fabulous with this.
3. I don't recommend red quinoa with this. It has a different, tougher texture to me. Just your general brown quinoa works fabulous with this.
4. Worried about sugar consumption? I used nectresse and it was sweet but not overpowering. Along with a tart fruit like blueberries or raspberries, perfect!

Cooking the quinoa in big batches allows you to make this breakfast relatively quickly. I enjoy this for mornings I don't have the time to cook my usual eggs. Enjoy!
