Quinoa-Walnut Granola

What to do with only a 1/4 cup left of quinoa?
I ran into this problem a few days back and did some searching on the internet. After seeing this cool article on NY Times food section, I decided to see how well quinoa was in granola. After all, I eat yogurt with granola every day so what not try and make my own? Turned out really tasty and while not overly sweet, you can always add brown sugar and raisins to add even more flavor!
                                                                                                  
Ingredients: 2 Servings 

Quinoa (uncooked)--- 1/4 C.
Quick Oats--- 1 C.
Walnuts (chopped)--- 1/4 C.
Vegetable Oil--- 2 Tbsp
Cinnamon--- To taste
Nutmeg--- To taste
Brown Sugar (optional)--- 2 Tbsp
                                                                                                  
Preheat oven to 300F. Warm quinoa in a small pan that is on Medium-High heat. It takes about 5 minutes until the quinoa turns light brown and begins to smell like popcorn. And like popcorn, you'll hear the little grains snap, crackle and pop in the pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, spices and sugar. Remove quinoa from burner and mix in with the dry ingredients. Add oil to bowl and toss until small granola clusters form.

Spread granola on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 300F for 20-30 minutes.

Enjoy!
