Are you a breakfast person? Considering this is the most important meal of the day, I will be the first to admit this is the meal I most often skip. Go without coffee? NEVER.

Brunch, on the other hand, is in a league all its own. We love making and eating big brunches on the weekend. With grilling season here, hubby is out there cooking up bacon and eggs on the bbq (when it’s not raining of course) all summer long.

If I had to pick one of the above, I would choose oatmeal. Whether baked in a breakfast casserole or used in overnight oatmeal recipes like Chocolate Almond Oatmeal, you will always find a nice supply of oats in my cupboard.

How To Roast Blueberries

Full instructions are in the recipe card below. I have also included how to cook the quinoa using a combination of milk and water to make it more of a porridge.

Wash the blueberries.
Preheat the oven.
Place the berries and sugar in a baking dish.
Bake until they are just starting to burst open.

Quinoa is a great alternative to meat as it is protein-packed. You can make it ahead of time and have it waiting in the fridge to use in recipes during the week.

It is great in Quinoa Tuna Casserole, a modern twist on the classic recipe.
Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers are perfect for dinner.
Love sushi, but not all the work? Sushi salad has all the flavour and none of the work.
Mini Mexican Casseroles are great for easy weeknight dinners.

Suggestions/Recipe Tips

Quinoa can be replaced with oatmeal, cream of wheat, or cornmeal.

Fresh blueberries are used in this recipe. You could also roast frozen blueberries. Give other berries a try as well.

Cinnamon sugar in the blueberries can be replaced with raw sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or even maple syrup or honey. Adjust the amount according to your taste.

Chai seasoning in the quinoa can be substituted with cinnamon, nutmeg, or any seasoning you like.

Store the leftovers in the fridge. I would keep the roasted blueberries and cooked quinoa in separate containers.

Reheat in the microwave for easy morning breakfasts.
