Ingredients

Quinoa Pudding Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa: Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold running water using a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove the natural bitter coating, then drain well.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, add the rinsed quinoa, whole milk, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the saucepan with the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, and let it cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Thicken: After 25 minutes, remove the lid and continue simmering uncovered for an additional 5 minutes. This will help the pudding thicken further and ensure the quinoa is tender.
  5. Serve: Transfer the pudding into serving bowls and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm for a cozy and satisfying dish.

Notes

  • Rinsing quinoa is essential to remove its natural bitterness and improve flavor.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, you can stir in a splash of cream or additional milk before serving.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Add toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
