This was my first quinoa attempt and it was lovely! Nice texture, just enough sweetness. New breakfast for variety. Next time I will try an asian version adding pears and ginger ;)

Just polished off this dish for breakfast about five minutes ago. Very good! This was my first shot at quinoa, and thanks for making that new experience a pleasant one! It's similar to how I cook oatmeal sometimes (though I do that sans milk and cream; just water). I don't usually keep random things like Almond milk around, so I just used skim, and also fat free half and half. I also used a light butter spread and cut the amount in half, as I only really wanted a little butter flavor for the apples. To saute the apples with the reduced amount of butter, I just used cooking spray to keep it from sticking to the pan, and added just that little bit of butter spread for flavour. I also swapped the almonds for chopped pecans. (Apples and cinnamon just seem to pair up so nicely with pecans!) I will certainly be making this again.

It was a pretty good recipe but I was expecting it to be sweet for some reason and was definitely let down on that point. After I added a bunch of sugar to it, I loved it :) I would make it again, but I would add sugar from the get go since I like sweet breakfast

Tasty. I didn't have almond milk so I used regular, 1%, dairy milk. Also added some brown sugar to my bowl because I like it that way. Its texture reminds me of Sunny Boy cereal.

This was exceptional! We put all the ingredients into a crockpot (minus the milk as we used dairy not almond) and cooked on low overnight. The next morning we stirred in some warmed milk and enjoyed!

This is yummy. I added peanut butter b/c I didn't have almonds. Served it over greek yogurt to cool it off fast for kids.

Pretty tasty - my first attempt to cook with quinoa! Next time I will use two apples instead of one and try doubling the cinnamon and maybe upping the almonds as well.

Super yummy! My 3 year old LOVED it. I did omit the nuts from her's as she is not a huge fan. Definitely will make this again!

Excellent! Can also substitute coconut milk. I have also reduced maple syrup and added some raisins.

I adore quinoa - love its taste/texture, versatility and it's super healthy! I am always excited to find new ways to prepare it and loved the sound of this one. I used pure maple syrup and light vanilla soy as it happened to be open in my fridge while my almond milk was not yet! I opted to leave out the half and half as well. This was an enjoyable breakfast, substantial and very yummy!
