    I have the same brand rice cooker and thus far have only used it for rice. I spend my mornings scrambling to make breakfast so I may give that a try soon! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    You're very welcome. I'm eager to hear what you think. (And, if you like bananas, please try it with the slices I
    recently mentioned -- I think that converts it from great to sumptuous!!)

    Different people have different patterns but I'll outline mine in case any parts might be useful to adapt for you.

    I measure out a week's worth of this breakfast recipe into individual plastic (pint) bags. Each night I use one
    of these to load my Z's cooking pan with the to-be-cooked material + water before going to bed, also setting
    the Z to my preferred cooking program ("Porridge" -- it's 1 of the 10 available choices on my Z).

    Then when I get up as usual around 5 AM to go to the bathroom, I also then punch "COOK" on the Z. That way,
    my breakfast cereal is finished cooking when I want to eat it around 7 AM.

    I borrowed a friend's old Panasonic SR-G06FG Automatic "3.3 Cup" (Cooked?/Uncooked?) Rice Cooker and tried cooking one breakfast's worth of my recipe. At the end of its cycle, the SCOs & Quinoa were still tasting too/somewhat uncooked so I added about half again the original amount of water, stirred it into the half-cooked porridge and started the cooking cycle all over again.

    This did result in a product fairly close to that which I get from cooking the recipe on my Z's "porridge" setting (which does takes about an hour to cook).

    I thought the end result in the Panasonic was quite edible and tasty -- not quite as good but good enough.

    I'll still use my Z every morning for cooking my porridge, BUT if you're interested in tasting it, please do try it in a regular rice cooker -- just cook it twice (adding more water) and let us know.

    Wanted to report back that I tried your recipe with a few modifications - I used fresh blueberries since that's what I had on hand, used only half a tsp of cinnamon, and didn't add milk or bananas. It wasn't as cinnamony as I thought it would be so next time I will use the full amount. Definitely want to add bananas next time I have them on hand. The quinoa and steel cut oats base is delicious and has a nice consistency. I could see myself modifying it into other flavor combinations as well and it was super easy to make in the zojirushi rice cooker.

    I...used only half a tsp of cinnamon, and didn't add milk or bananas. It wasn't as cinnamony as I thought it would be so next time I will use the full amount.
    Please, all readers, check to see if your cinnamon says it's "Ceylon." Ceylon cinnamon is more expensive so if it's from Ceylon it WILL advertise that. If it does NOT say it's from Ceylon, then it isn't. And ALL other cinnamons are high in coumarin which can be very destructive to one's liver with repeated use of even moderate doses.

    IF you're using only a few sprinkles, very seldom, non-Ceylonese cinnamon may not cause any health problems.

    BUT IF you're using a teaspoon at a time, or repeated doses, then PLEASE use only a Ceylonese cinnamon.

    Since I use 1 tsp. a day, I buy 1 lb. containers of Indus (brand) Ceylonese cinnamon. But other smaller containers of Ceylonese cinnamon are available on Amazon for $5 with free shipping if it's something you may try or use only a few times.

    You can google "dangers of non-Ceylonese cinnamon" to research this issue.

    And/Or you can read the article in the link below:

    Types Of Cinnamon | Ceylon | Cassia | Saigon | Korintje

    ETA: I just corresponded with Cinnamon Vogue. They say it's safe to eat no more than: "The US dept. of Health says 1.25 tsp per day for an average adult."

    And that's of the Ceylon cinnamon
