1/2 c oatmeal
1/4 c pearl barley
1/4 c quinoa
1/4 c brown rice
2 tbsp all bran (I use Quaker All Bran, in the green box)
2 tbsp whole flax seeds, lightly cracked
2 tbsp chia seeds
4 c water
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
Combine all ingred in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 mins. Be careful not to burn the bottom (keep heat on lowest setting). Stir, recover and simmer another 10 mins. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10-15 mins. Fluff with fork and serve.
If desired, add fruit of your choice, and milk or yogurt. Blueberries or unsweetened applesauce are particularly good.
I make a batch of this and portion it out for the week. Just need to warm it up in the microwave. Freezes well, too.
