I was excited to try this... found it easy to prepare and mouth-watering. We used Pink Lady apples and whole, raw almonds (what we had on hand).

I love quinoa but using red quinoa gave it too overpowering of a taste. I would use regular quinoa if I were to try this again. I love all the other ingredients in this recipe but I don't know what happened. I did make it in the slowcooker.

I give it four stars as is, because I found it to be quite bland, and also overly salty. The amount of salt called for was way too much for this recipe, so I would decrease it by half next time. I also added twice as much syrup, and about 3T brown sugar at the end to give it more flavor and to mask the salt. It ended up tasting great, but next time I make it I hope to be able to use less sugar and keep it healthier by decreasing the salt. Oh, and I also didn't have red quinoa so I used the traditional brown and it turned out just fine. My picky husband even liked this!

This is pretty good. I doubled the apple, used honey instead of maple syrup, and unsweetened coconut milk instead of almond milk. It could have used a little bit more sweetener, but not much.

What a great treat from the typical Sunday pancakes! Rather than buy almond milk just for this recipe, I poured a little vanilla into 1% milk. Used two apples and increased the cinnamon. That made it plenty sweet enough. It was a little soupy (possibly not enough Quinoa as I was low). Next time I will cut back on the milk.

Really good. I cooked the apple with the quinoa, added a touch of brown sugar, and only a bit of fat free half and half prior to serving. It has a great texture and flavor!

Tasty, but frying the apples in butter kind of defeats the health benefits of quinoa. I just add the apples and cinnamon to the quinoa and cook it all together. I sweeten with stevia, but you can certainly use the maple syrup for flavor and sweetness. I also add one-quarter cup walnuts for some healty fat, but that's a personal preference.

Love this! Quick, easy, and yum! I used 2 Fuji apples, a reduced sugar syrup, almond-coconut milk, and some splenda plus I omitted the half and half since I didn't have any. Very good. My 4 year old enjoyed it too!

My children took one look at this and started to cry until I forced them to smell it. Then they cleaned their bowls! I liked how another reviewer said to add raisins. I'll try that next time. Thanks for a nice recipe!
