Delish breakfast cereal (quinoa and oats)

annekka

Recently found and tried this recipe. It makes one smaller portion, but it's super delish and at only 220 kcal as written, super healthy, too. You can sub ingredients as you prefer. I used sugar free soymilk, and subbed the oatbran for ground flax. I also have mini-bananas right now so I threw in 2 of those instead of the 1/2 a small banana and put in a lot of cinnamon. I left out the nuts as I'm nut-intolerant. According the reviews, the sugar may not be necessary but do put in the vanilla extract.

It was quick and yummy.
