Quinoa & Chia Oatmeal Mix

***Question & Review***
I really enjoyed this mix. I'd like to make it either in the microwave or as an "overnight" mix.

Do you have any recommendations for this??

This oatmeal is a game changer! It is truly amazing and taste awesome! I did not have barley flakes, so I used quick cooking whole barley which is an ancient grain & superfood within itself! It adds great texture to the whole bowl! No wonder why the other reviewer gave it out as Christmas presents! Worthy! Oh and I topped this with a few chopped up almonds & walnuts, a few fresh blueberries & only 2 teaspoons of maple syrup. It comes in around 300 cal! Love it love it love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Wonderful, quick. I add the fruit when serving. Serves my husband and me. It's too filling before a bike ride, so I cut it down to make 3 servings and that works.

Mary - the recipe is called “quinoa and oatmeal mix” so it’s not telling you to add more quinoa. Just the mix. My problem is I can’t figure out cooking times. It’s taken like 20+ minutes to cook until thick. Am I supposed to just do the 15 minutes and then turn off and cover for 5, regardless? Does the rest of the thickening happen in those 5?Very yummy. Just need to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I just would like clarification on the prep. It says to add 1/3 c. of quinoa to the oatmeal mix which already contains quinoa. So this in fact an addition of more quinoa? Thanks!

I made the recipe with no changes, and it was delicious! The oatmeal is creamy and satisfying. I enjoyed it so much, that I made jars of it to give as Christmas gifts to my health conscious friends.
