Breakfast Quinoa with Blueberries

May 14, 2013 by Megan Porta 16 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Quinoa with blueberries is not to be limited to just breakfast time! Think breakfast for dinner…SCANDALOUS!!

Nice weather is (mostly) here, and that makes me one happy girl. At this very moment I am working outside while my little boys run around and play “castle” in our bushes. I have longed for this moment for seven months and it is finally here! Pinch me! Dan and I both make most of our money in the summers, so it is a very busy but good and productive season for us. Welcome, summer!

I have had this lonely box of quinoa sitting in my pantry for a while now. The other night Dan and I had fed the boys since they adore eating at their little table outside when the weather is nice. We were feeling lazy and didn’t know what to make for ourselves. I remembered the box of quinoa and thought about transforming it into a breakfast! For dinner! Scandalous!

Enjoy!

    I am allergic to almonds. Could skim milk be used instead?

    We made this yesterday morning. I liked it a lot but thought there was a bit too much cinnamon. Thanks for it! Yummy!

    would this work in a small slow cooker set on low overnight?

    I actually made this for dinner last night. It was delicious. My quinoa was a totally different color though. Really filling. Thank you!

    Hi Tina! I reheat my quinoa all the time. As with anything, it's not exactly the same but works just fine! Hope this helps!

    Oh how I miss the days of castles and the great outdoors. Your quinoa almost looks like chocolate! I wonder if I could add a little cocoa powder to this as well… mmm. Breakfast is great!

    Love quinoa for lunch and dinner, I've never thought about it for breakfast. What a great idea instead of oatmeal!
