Theresa787
"Quinoa is a complete protein that's also high in fiber. Banana 'rice' pudding makes an excellent snack or meal for a toddler, and a delicious dessert for an adult."

Ready In
- Rinse quinoa in a paper towel-lined colander until water is no longer milky. Transfer quinoa to a saucepan, add 1 1/2 cups water and soak for 30 minutes.
- Bring quinoa and water to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Blend bananas, whole milk, coconut milk, 3 tablespoons honey, butter, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt together in a blender until smooth.
- Stir milk mixture into quinoa, raise heat to medium; cook and stir constantly until pudding becomes thick, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer pudding to serving dish and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over pudding; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Soaking the quinoa for 30 minutes will help soften the outer shell.
- Caution: as with all puddings, if it is not stirred consistently as it cooks, the pudding will spill out of the saucepan.
- I have also made this recipe substituting 1 cup sweet potato puree and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in place of two bananas and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Absolutely delicious!

the whole family didn't care for this one. It wasn't sweet enough to be a dessert and it had the consistency of baby food.

Can't wait to try this! Can you sub soy or almond milk for the coconut milk? I don't like coconut flavor. Does the original recipe taste coconut-y?

I prefer it warmed up a little bit with some chopped pecans. Makes a good breakfast.

Yeah, not bad for quinoa. Used pumpkin and cream and didn't cook it the second time, because I like these types of dishes a little more toothsome. Turned out quite nice.
