Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk (light or full-fat)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
1. Rinse the Quinoa
- Place quinoa in a fine strainer and rinse thoroughly under running water.
2. Cook the Base
- In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, coconut milk, and milk.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Add Flavorings
- Stir in mashed bananas, honey, and cinnamon.
- Cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring continuously until thickened.
4. Serve
- Spoon into individual ramekins.
- Serve warm, or chill for 1–2 hours for a pudding-like consistency.
Notes
- Rinse well: Removes quinoa’s natural bitterness (saponins)
- Adjust sweetness: Depending on banana ripeness
- Stir frequently: Prevents sticking and ensures even thickening
