Tipps

Properly Rinse Quinoa

Be sure to rinse quinoa well under running water using a fine mesh strainer. This helps to remove the natural coating, called saponin, which can give a bitter taste if not properly rinsed off.

Adjust Sweetener

Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your preferred sweetness level. You can also substitute it with honey or any other natural sweetener.

Wait for the Right Consistency

The pudding will thicken up significantly near the end of the cooking time. Be patient and wait until it achieves a creamy, pudding-like consistency.

Check for Doneness

The quinoa should be tender once the pudding is done. If it's still a bit crunchy, you can continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Serve Warm or Cold

This pudding tastes amazing served warm but you can also chill it in the fridge and serve it cold. It's delicious either way!

Sprinkle some Love

Garnish with a sprinkle of sliced almonds for a delightful crunch that contrasts the creamy pudding beautifully.

Storage and Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat the pudding in the microwave, adding a little extra almond milk if needed.
