Instructions
Rinse quinoa under cold water until the run-off is clear. (This step may not be necessary for you. My quinoa came pre-rinsed so this was not needed.
Bring the water to a boil with the salt.
Add quinoa. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Fluff the quinoa and let sit covered for another 10 minutes.
Peel and chop apples. Cook them however you like. I went the lazy route and stuck them in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Add apples and cinnamon to the quinoa.
Add whatever other flavors you typically like in your oatmeal. My husband and I had one bowl with maple syrup and one with honey.
