directions

  • Rinse quinoa well with water to remove bitter coating; drain.
  • Place walnuts in a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Stir frequently until the walnuts are toasted and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let walnuts cool slightly. Chop and set aside.
  • Combine quinoa, water, and oat bran in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes. Leave the saucepan on the burner, covered, for an additional 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts and maple syrup. Transfer to a bowl and top with milk, yogurt, or cream, if using.

  1. Another excellent quinoa cereal of yours! Usually I prefer it with some fruit in it, but this was great as is. Topped it with home made vanilla yoghurt and felt like having dessert for breakfast! Thanks for posting!<br/>Made for Healthy Hearts Find The Tags / Diabetic Forum.
     
  2. Quinoa is a new ingredient to me, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to try this recipe. And I was totally happy with the end result. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Katzen. Made for the Spain monthly tag game for October 2011.
     
  3. What a great way to start the day! The maple syrup was the perfect sweetener for the nutty quinoa and great with the walnuts as well. This made for a delicious, healthy and satisfying breakfast - thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  4. Kat, this is an unbelievably tasty way of starting the day! :) Mmmm, my sis and me devoured this and wished we had made more. <br/>The walnuts went so well with the nutty quinoa (I used black quinoa for the first time) and the maple syrup adds a great earthy sweetness. YUM!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us!<br/>Made and reviewed for PRMR November 2010.
     
  5. Yumm! The toasted walnuts and maple syrup make this very healthy breakfast a tasty way to start the day. Made as written using Recipe #16399 that I keep in the frig. For the topping I used a little vanilla ricotta but think milk or vanilla yogurt would be just as good. Will be making this again. Thanks for the post.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
