Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (white quinoa preferred)
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Fresh berries or banana slices
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Chia seeds or hemp hearts
  • Nuts or nut butter drizzle
  • Cocoa nibs or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cook the Quinoa: Rinse 1/2 cup dry quinoa and cook in 1 cup of water for 12–15 minutes, until tender. Fluff with a fork and cool slightly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, mix cooked quinoa, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Simmer: Stir occasionally and simmer 10–15 minutes until the pudding thickens and the quinoa absorbs the flavors.
  4. Adjust Texture: Add a splash of milk if it becomes too thick. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  5. Serve: Enjoy warm for comfort or chilled for a refreshing treat. Top with fruits, nuts, or coconut flakes.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich, creamy texture.
  • Simmer gently and stir often to avoid sticking.
  • Customize with cocoa powder, spices, or fruit toppings.
  • Stores up to 5 days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
  • Reheat with a splash of almond milk to restore creaminess.
