I love this idea! I also tend to eat oatmeal most weekday mornings, though I've been thinking of making breakfast quinoa recently.
Tasty! I need to make that again.
I recently made this as well, but added a splash of vanilla extract. The vanilla really complimented all of the flavors and was delicious!
