Quinoa, Cinnamon, and Honey Oatmeal
Slight variation to the conventional oatmeal recipe. I use quinoa because I prefer using that grain over oats. Oats can give some people digestive problems, so there is a slight health benefit to it as well. Quinoa also has more protein per serving, so that is an additional benefit. The other ingredients include: honey, coconut oil, and cinnamon

I love starting my day with a warm and hearty bowl of oatmeal. But I'm always looking for ways to make it a little more interesting. That's why I created this recipe for Quinoa, Cinnamon, and Honey Oatmeal.
This oatmeal is made with quinoa instead of oats, which gives it a slightly nutty flavor and a bit more protein. It's also sweetened with honey and cinnamon, which adds a touch of sweetness and spice. The result is a delicious and nutritious breakfast that will keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.
Step-by-step
- Boil water in a large pot.
- Once the water is boiled, put the quinoa in the pot.
- Set the timer for 10 mins.
- Test the quinoa for texture. If it is still tough, set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Check on it for every 5 minutes until the texture is to your liking.
- When the texture is right for you, strain the quinoa and let it cool a little.
- Put the quinoa back in the pot.
- Add the coconut oil first so it melts well into the quinoa.
- Next, add the honey.
- Finally, add the cinnamon.
- Mix each ingredient in before adding the next, as the quinoa is dry.
- This will avoid clumping, and is also why we add the dry ingredients at the end.
- Let the mixture sit after you have mixed everything together.
- This is great served cold or warm.
- I use it as a quick breakfast when on the go, which is why making it in bulk is preferred.
