Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup diced fall fruits (such as apples, pears, and figs)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Extra maple syrup or honey for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed the milk.

    Flavor it Up: Once the quinoa is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until everything is combined.

      Incorporate Fruits: Gently fold in the diced fall fruits. If desired, add the chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.

        Serve: Spoon the quinoa pudding into bowls. If you like, drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey on top for added sweetness.

          Garnish (Optional): Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few slices of fresh fruit for presentation.

            Enjoy Warm or Chilled: The pudding can be enjoyed warm right after cooking or chilled in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. Both ways are delicious!
