(*These first three steps are optional, but do add a nice roasted flavor.)
While the oats are roasting, heat a saucepan and add the uncooked quinoa. Cook while stirring continually until the quinoa is toasted a light-brown color, 3-5 minutes.
Pour the oats and chopped almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes, until the oats are golden brown and you can begin to smell the almonds roasting. *Be careful to not let them burn!
