Ingredients for 1 servings:
1. 1 tablespoon almonds, silvered
2. 3 tablespoons quinoa
3. 2/3 cup water
4. 1 tablespoon raisins
5. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6. 1 pinch nutmeg
7. 2 tablespoons quick-cooking oatmeal
8. 2 tablespoons brown sugar or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
9. 1/4 cup soymilk or 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
Directions:
1. Rinse quinoa well with water to remove bitter coating; drain.
2. Place almonds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until almonds are toasted and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
3. Combine quinoa, water, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the same saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the oats, replace cover, and cook for an additional 6 minutes. Add the almonds and sugar. Top with vanilla yogurt, milk, soymilk, or half and half cream, if using. Serve immediately.
