To replace your oats you can choose quinoa! Quinoa are seeds in stead of grains. Look up the health benefits! You can use them like couscous or rice at dinner. But you should definitely try this easy alternative for a sweet grainfree breakfast.
It takes a litte over a quarter to make this breakfast but that's only because the quinoa has to cook for 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 50 grams of quinoa
- 250 milliliter nutmilk (I used my homemade cashewmilk to be sure it's not sweetened with refined sugar)
- optional: syrup or honey
Toppings:
- frozen berries or fresh fruits
- almonds
Wash the quinoa to get rid of the bitter taste the seeds have. The seeds are really small so you have to be a little creative to make sure your not spilling the quinoa. I use a cloth and a colander to wash the quinoa. I lay the cloth in the colander en then put in the quinoa, pour over water and make sure I wash everything. Then I carefully take out the cloth with the quinoa in it and put the seeds in a cooking pan. If you know a better option, let me know!
Cook the quinoa in the nutmilk for 15 minutes on a low fire. After 15 minutes your quinoa is ready to be eaten. If you like it to be a hot breakfast you should make it in the morning. Just add some syrup if you want your breakfast to be really sweet and top with some berries or nuts.
I make my quinoa breakfast in the evening so it can set in the fridge overnight. It then becomes less watery and it gets the structure of a pudding. So after I cook the quinoa I leave it to cool down. Then pour it into a bowl, add frozen berries and keep it in the fridge overnight. That way you have no cooking in the morning and your breakfast is like a really healthy and nutritious overnight oatmeal. You wont be hungry for a few hours!! ENJOY :)
