Cinnamon quinoa bake

Here's my review of the ever popular cinnamon quinoa bake from Pinterest. I made it today following the instructions except I used coconut milk instead of soy milk. The batter was very runny so I added more quinoa but it didn't seem to help. Overall they are decent. The texture is very moist and fluffy which I was not expecting. I will make them again, however, and add raisins and probably one to 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal.


If you make it, let me know what you think! Here is the recipe from Pinterest.

2 1/2 cups quinoa, cooked and cooled
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk
1/3 cup maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Yields nine to 12 bars

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and place the quinoa in a large mixing bowl. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with lightly greased parchment.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, soy milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Add maple syrup (if using) and whisk.

3. Add egg mixture to cooked and cooled quinoa. Stir with a large spoon to combine. Pour into the parchment-lined baking dish and spread it around to ensure that it’s even.

4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until set and golden.

5. Using parchment, remove bake from pan as soon as possible so that it doesn’t steam.

6. Cool completely and cut into squares. Serve with a dollop of nut butter.

  1. I wonder if it could be made egg free using flax seed as a replacer. I'll have to try it out and let you know.
