yummy! I doubled the recipe, and used half ground flaxseed, half wheat germ for the oat bran (didn't have any).

SO easy and so filling and flexible on ingredients. My grocery didnt have quinoa so I left it out. I quadrupled for me and hubby as reviews said servings were small. Instead of a pinch of cinnamon, my shaker decided a tablespoon was necessary (oops!) And as i reached for the brown sugar I discovered it had turned into a brick! Hubby opted to use white and raved about how good this was. Will make again!! Thank you :)

Delicious! I've made this twice in 2 days. The second time was much better, I cooked the quinoa in the water for about 10 mins, then added the milk and other goodies. I did it once with banana and once with an apple, they were both really good! My 9 month old gobbled down almost a full portion too :-) Thanks!

Great recipe that adds more protein to your morning oatmeal. I substitued steel cut oats for the rolled oats and cooked the quinoa and the steel cut oats together. I also added couple more tablespoons of water and cooked for 2 minutes longer. Pecans were used for the nuts. Very satisfying breakfast.

My husband was wary of this recipe, because of the quinoa, but I told him to try it and he loved it. I was out of bananas, so I substituted dried cranberries - one my typical breakfast toppings - and he LOVED it. It takes a little longer than instant oatmeal, our usual breakfast, but it is SOOO worth the wait. I will cook this again and again and try other substitutions. YUM!! I think I must have done something "wrong though"..I doubled the recipe and the resulting volume seemed to be the same as one of the instant oatmeal packets. I probably reduced the water/milk by too much. We are going to keep experimenting with this, maybe try dry mango, cherries, blueberries. I "realized" today why Homeskillet added banana. Bananas are loaded with benefits that everyone can use to start off their day.

This was better than I thought it would be. I love the combo of quinoa and oats. The banana was a little much for me, maybe some frozen blueberries or raisins next time. good recipe

I have been wanting to add quinoa to my diet, and this was the perfect recipe to start off with. I added a little to much of the brown sugar, but I know for next time that not as much will be needed. I am also going to try this with other fruits, as others have suggested, this way I can use up all the fruit from last years canning, and have a fresh stock for this year.
