Delicious, filling, and comforting on a cold morning. It's really flexible, so substitute in your favorite nuts and fruit. Cashews and cherries are just my personal favorite.
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.
Read MoreHaven't tried it yet But there is a typo; it says mix cherries, cashews and ONION,..I think it should be HONEY instead of onion;P I will be trying it this weekend:)

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
This is so good!! I haven't had the cherries or blackberries on hand but have used fresh blueberries and currants instead. Yum!
Excellent! Made the first batch and hubby ate all of it so make a quadruple batch so I can eat it for breakfast this week! First time used cherries and walnuts. Second time with cherries, raisins and pecans. I like that it's healthy and has very little added sugar. You could probably skip the honey, but I'd never skip the cinnamon.
First time I made this. I only added chopped cashews and fresh blueberries and it was delicious and quick. Will definitely be making again.
Easy peasy! We had quinoa left over from the night before, so I only added 1/2 cup oat milk when reheating in the saucepan. I also added a little brown sugar, raisins and substituted agave for honey....used the rest of the recipe as written. Delicious!!
Loved this! We made a lot of substitutions because we just used what we had on hand. Cooking the quinoa we did by the recipe except we had 2% milk instead of skim. The add-ins we used were cashews, honey, chopped dried apricot, banana, and little heavy whipping cream. Definitely plan to make this or something similar again. Oh and be sure you keep an eye on the cooking quinoa! Mine boiled over, but thankfully I was close so it wasn't too bad.
Delicious and simple. The cinnamon and honey add sweetness while keeping it healthy!
Thank you kindly for this versatile delicious recipe! It is such a great substitute for those who can't tolerate oatmeal. It's a keeper for sure
Very tasty. I substituted dried cranberries for dried cherries and used frozen blueberries.
Altered because I didn’t have some of the ingredients. Doubled the recipe to feed more people, didn’t use milk because I was out. Substituted walnut for the cashews and peaches for the cherries. Added a tsp of salt and 2 tablespoons of butter. Easy and delicious and versatile if you don’t have exactly what’s listed.
Haven't tried it yet But there is a typo; it says mix cherries, cashews and ONION,..I think it should be HONEY instead of onion;P I will be trying it this weekend:)
Only reason I give it four stars is because of personal preference. Try substituting some of the fruit in the recipe for apples. Love it for it's health benefits
I used walnuts, blackberries and only 1 tsp honey. No creme fraiche. I really I enjoyed it. I cannot eat oats anymore so this gave me the same taste that I have been missing!
