Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • cups water
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • cup unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of choice)
  • cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine quinoa, water and salt and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and let simmer until quinoa is cooked through and water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • When the quinoa is finished cooking, spoon it into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Allow it cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, maple, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk to beat the eggs and combine everything together.
  • Once the quinoa is cooled down, add the egg mixture to the quinoa. Then add the raisins and walnuts, use a wooden spoon to mix everything together, until evenly incorporated.
  • Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, and pour the quinoa mixture into the dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the inside is cooked through.
  • Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it. This will prevent it from falling apart when you cut it.

Notes

  • notes - if you are using already cooked quinoa, then use 2 cups. But if you are cooking the quinoa for this recipe only, then use 1 cup uncooked, and use the ratios above.
