Ingredients

  • 2 cups long grain brown rice
  • 1 cup red quinoa, rinsed see note
  • 5 ½ cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cup coconut oil see note
  • cup raw honey or agave add more to taste, if desired

For Serving:

  • milk, cream or half-n-half see note
  • berries or cut up fruit optional

Instructions

  1. In a pressure cooker insert, add the brown rice, quinoa, water, and salt and give it a quick stir to combine.

  2. Lock pressure cooker lid in place and cook on HIGH pressure for 12 minutes.

  3. Release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, and then do a quick release (or alternately you can release the pressure naturally the entire time).

  4. Open lid and add coconut oil and honey (or agave), and stir gently to combine.

  5. Serve warm or at room temperature adding milk/cream and cut up fruit or berries to each bowl, as desired. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and are delicious reheated.

Recipe Notes

1. I use red quinoa but you can use any kind here.

2. For this recipe (and most others) I use organic cold pressed and unrefined coconut oil. You can use any type of coconut oil, but the unrefined type has just a slight coconut flavor that’s super tasty. I buy the Aunt Patty’s brand on Amazon (aff link).

3. My favorite way to eat this cereal is with half-n-half (I usually make my own half-n-half by adding some cream and milk together in the bowl). This is also a great recipe to make dairy free and refrigerated coconut milk or almond milk work well here.
