Put a cinnamon stick in a pot of water and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, add 1/2 cup cooked quinoa to the pot and let it absorb for a couple of minutes.

Add 1 cup oats to the pot and turn the heat to low.

Cook for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa and oats are swollen and turgid.

If there is too much water, drain some off before serving.

Serve with toppings of your choice, such as berries, bananas, or other spices like nutmeg and cardamom.
