I tried this with mint extract (a little less than half of what it calls for almond extract) and skim milk and it was delicious!

I think it would be Delish! Try it and let me know. I made this back before I tried Almond milk.

Sounds great. I love quinoa…do you think it would be as good with chocolate almond milk instead of soy milk? Or would that be too much with the almond extract?

Howard – I always measure dry, but If I was to guess I’d say 1/2 would equal about 1 cup cooked if not a bit more.

To make 1 cooked cup of Quinoa, how much dry do I start with?

Thanks, Howard

My hubby loves this and has been asking me to make it again for weeks. So this morning I obliged – and added 5gm of mini choco chips & 1/2 sliced banana as toppings – was AMAZING!!

Your recipes are always awesome! Thanks!

Roni, Congratulations, my boyfriend liked this!!! Since he had a heart stent put in about a year ago he has been eating healthy and hating every minute of it. Well, we made this for breakfast yesterday and He said and I quote, “It’s not nasty!!” He said he would eat it again. Believe me Roni, this is a major compliment. Thanks again for sharing your recipes.

Roni, I just tried this. Actually, it was my first taste of quinoa as I had not had it before and I wanted to try it. This was very good and chocolatey. I cannot wait to try quinoa as a rice replacement. Thanks for sharing all of your great recipes.

LOL I don’t think there is a quick vs. regular. And the Quinoa does have a little firmness to it so that may be what you are tasting. Have you had it before?Anyone else having this problem?

So is this supposed to be crunchy? lol

I cooked longer then 12 minutes but it didn’t seem to be getting to the right texture. The flavor was good but something about the texture….

Is there such thing as quick cooking Quinoa vs. regular ( like old fashion and quick oats??)While I love using this grain, mine always seems to take forever to cook….am I doing something wrong?
