I was confused before realizing the author probably meant HONEY rather than "Mix cherries, cashews, and ONION into the quinoa mixture" (though I could be wrong); I did try it with honey, not onion, and felt it was an easy, tasty alternative to other hot cereal breakfast dishes.
I really liked this! Would definitely make it often.
My changes:
almond milk instead of regular milk
Toasted almond slices (just quickly done in a pan as the quinoa cooked)
No vanilla
Brown sugar, about 1 1/2 Tbs.
Dried cranberries. I threw them in near the end of the cooking time to soften.
Very easy and tasty. I added Craisins and chopped pecans and a little agave to sweeten. Did not have creme fraiche on hand so mixed a cup of heavy cream and a tbs. of buttermilk a little vanilla and whipped it.
Just made this recipe for the first time! It is really good! I love that I just stumbled upon another more healthy protein-rich breakfast:) I am a breastfeeding mom so I did not sweeten it with honey -- I used brown sugar so it was basically identical to how I would make oatmeal (cinnamon and brown sugar!). I actually didn't add any fruit or nuts this time because I didn't have any on hand but I know they will be a great addition!! Thanks for the awesome breakfast recipe!!
Loved it! I used blueberries and dried cranberries and decided to crush up the cashews before mixing them in to help them blend better. This is definitely now one of my favorite breakfasts.
very good. used dried cherries cranberries and sliced almonds instead of cashews. Made a double batch and put in small containers for breakfast later this week.
Made this morning very good used almond milk with craisins blueberries and sweeten with sugar free maple and topped with coconut milk creamer. (French Vanilla)..-Teri
It was okay. I was hoping it would be creamier. It basically was quinoa with a cinnamon taste. Make sure to watch the pot carefully! Because you are using milk it will boil over before you know it. Wow! That made a hell of a mess! So I started over thinking if I put it in my rice maker it would not boil over... but it still boiled over a little bit. I gave it 4 stars instead of 2 or 3 because of my screw ups. I would like to try it a third time but with Quinoa over 5/lb. It might be a while before that happens.
First time I made this. I only added chopped cashews and fresh blueberries and it was delicious and quick. Will definitely be making again.
