A delightful and hearty breakfast bowl combining quinoa, oats, and warm spices, perfect for a cozy morning.
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitterness.
Rinsing quinoa is crucial to remove its natural coating, which can taste bitter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Use a medium saucepan to ensure even cooking and prevent overflow.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Keep the lid on to retain moisture and cook the quinoa evenly.
Stir in the oatmeal, cover again, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Quick-cooking oats will blend seamlessly with the quinoa for a creamy texture.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
This resting time helps the dish achieve a perfect consistency.
Serve the warm cereal in bowls, topping with brown sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cream as desired.
Customize the toppings to suit your taste preferences.
