Pumpkin Pie Quinoa

It's morning, you're hungry, and you have a little time on your hands. You think to yourself, "man I could go for some oatmeal." Or maybe you're like me and you think that oatmeal is fucking nasty, so you don't say that, but either way, you want something hot and fresh and easy to make. This recipe might just hit the spot for you.
Now you might be thinking, "Quinoa for breakfast?" Well you're going to have to trust me because this shit is off the hizzy.
You need:
A package of Quinoa
4 large carrots
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to taste. (I fucking love cinnamon)
1 tablespoon of molasses
1/3 cup of milk or soy milk
1)FIRST THINGS FIRST: get your quinoa cooking. There's nothing special about it. Follow the directions on the package. This should involve boiling some water, dumping your quinoa in, and letting it simmer, covered, until the water is gone. It's like rice.
2) While that business is going on, peel and slice your carrots into uniform pieces. Throw them into a separate pan and cover them with water. Let them simmer over medium heat until they start to get soft. (3-10 minutes depending on the size of the pieces)
3) Drain the water from the carrots and place them in a foodprocessor or blender and start blending.
4) Add cinnamon, molasses, and milk until it is very smooth. When it looks like a can of pumpkin pie filling, you know you're done.
5) Fold this mixture into your finished pot of quinoa
I topped mine with lightly toasted walnuts and trust me, it's delicious and tastes like fall. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go have another bowl.

SUBSTITUTIONS: Hey, I understand that you might not have everything that you need for this recipe in your kitchen. DON'T WORRY, I GOT YOU.
If you don't have the quinoa, your shitty oatmeal will probably do just fine with these other flavors. If you don't have either, you're going to have to go to the store or settle for eggs or cereal or something. OR you can just eat the puree. It tastes like pumpkin pie filling and is loaded with carroty goodness, so there's that.
If you don't have molasses, maple syrup will work. This will change the flavor and will stray from tasting like pumpkin pie (unless you eat maple pumpkin pie. I'm not judging, I'm just sayin'). As maple is a pretty common breakfast flavor, no harm no foul. Barring that, you can add a teaspoon of white or brown sugar at a time until it achieves a sweetness you find acceptable. This will be less complex and rich tasting, but we gotta do what we gotta do.
If you don't have carrots, one medium sized sweet potato should suffice. You might think this is weird, but hell you followed me when I said carrots, so trust me. Sweet potatoes are sweet and delicious and packed with nutrients. If you find them unpleasant to eat on your own, you can sneak them into your diet this way.
