Slow Cooker Breakfast Quinoa

Here's a yummy alternative to oats in the morning (or lunchtime on a cold day!).

1 c. quinoa
3 c. milk (organic or almond milk)
4 dates, chopped
1/4 c. pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds)
1 apple (organic) peeled and diced
2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. salt

Combine all ingredients and on high for 2-3 hours until all the liquid is absorbed.
If you want it an "overnight" version, put it on low immediately before going to bed.

You can add honey or pure maple syrup if you need to add a bit of sweetness. My 12-year-old said it was better than she expected and asked for more later in the day too! :)
