QUINOA – Oatmeal cereal
This recipe does not have any eggs, so it is not “from the coop”. But it is a great protein-packed vegan breakfast dish. Gluten-free oats works well.
You can use any quinoa/oatmeal percentage combination; the recipe that follows is a 50/50 blend. The cereal will last several days in the fridge. Just reheat in the microwave, or stir in a small pan on the stove for a few minutes until heated.
