I can’t say enough good things about my oatmeal/quinoa…this oatmeal recipe got me through my entire degree. I ate this oatmeal almost every single day for the 4.5 years I spent in University, and then continued after I got my job at the hospital, and yes I am STILL eating it a few times a week (at least). It’s my favourite go to breakfast, I love that I can add so many different toppings to it so I don’t get bored (although banana and peanut butter never gets old to me..).
This recipe is great because even though it takes a while to cook, you can make a large batch and warm it up throughout the week. If you double the recipe, you can make it on Sundays and have it for the rest of the week to eat before school or work or an easy breakfast while tending to little ones (or sharing with little ones!).
