This breakfast can easily turn into a delectable dessert by heating up 1 tbs of butter and cook the apples for 1 to 2 minutes before tossing in the jasmine rice and quinoa to toast. Then add in the water or milk and bring to a boil. To finish, mix in dried fruit like raisins with the honey and cinnamon. Feel free to add peanut butter instead of dried fruit and honey, if desired.
