This is absolutely delish!!! A definite keeper. My fam is accustomed to grains so I cut the honey in 1/2 & it was plenty sweet for our tastes. What a healthy delightful way to eat the most important meal of the day. I would give this 10 stars if I could. The nutty but sweet flavor is great! Thanx Yasi!:-)
This is a great recipe. I made a few changes and loved it even more. Instead of vanilla I added Brown Sugar and some mixed nuts. Very good!
I am new to the gluten-free world (only a few days!) and thought I would try this to replace my beloved oatmeal. Well score one for the team! I did not have dates or apricots so I substituted golden raisins. I will say that I found the recipe too salty so next time I make it I will reduce the salt to 1/2 tsp. Other than the salt I found this to be delicious with a comforting texture.
This was SOOO delicious. I used sweetened coconut milk instead of cow milk and honey. Didn't have apricots so used dates and raisins. The results were fabulous! Nice to find a dish that doesn't need wheat gluten or dairy to be awesome!
I'm not sure how to rate this. I had been looking for a sweet recipe with quinoa not the usual salty side dishes. This tasted a lot like an oatmeal dish. It was good but I think I prefer oatmeal to quinoa (at least in this instance). Apricots were too expensive so I used raisins and blueberries instead. The only thing I would change would be to add more cinnamon and honey (or sugar) because those flavors were a little too understated for me. Again the lower rating comes more from the fact that I did not care for the texture of quinoa in a "breakfast cereal."
The salt really overpowers this dish. The flavors would be perfect with half as much or no salt. I like the texture of the quinoa and I like the dates and apricots. I added cranberries as well, and I think dried cherries would be nice too. Be careful that the milk doesn't burn (I used soy) or boil over.
I used half apple juice/half milk...worked out great! Next time I may put chopped apples in a great autumn change.
I tried this yesterday and fell in love with it. It is easy healthy and different.
Just wanted to address the "too much salt" comments; I used flaked sea salt which is a lot more delicate than regualr table salt. So if you're using conventional salt do lower the amount to taste.
