I found these to be a bit bland. I added 1 1/2 tsp vanilla and 2 tsp of nutmeg and they taste really good. I found it better to use my high speed blender because I had a lot of splashing of almond milk when I used the food processor. This is a really good snack for folks who are whole food plant based.

I had a similar problem… they’ve been in the oven forever and they are still like gooey batter in the middle…

In reply to Mark. It's 2 cups after it is cooked.

Great dish but can you clarify, is it 2 cups measured AFTER you cook the quinoa or do you measure it before you cook it? Thanks

I have these baking right now for my toddler’s morning breakfast! So excited for him to try them, hopefully he enjoys it! He just recently turned 2, and thus we have entered the infamous “terrible twos”. My previously fantastic eater has not become a picky pain in the butt and I’m desperately trying to find things he will eat besides cheerios. Due to his sudden picky-ness, I’m also trying to pack in as much protein, fat, and nutritious ingredients into everything. I’m trying this tonight with some modification for his diet :quinoa cooked in “super milk” and coconut oil, half homemade coconut milk and half “super milk”, almonds and walnuts, raisins, shredded coconut, and a very ripe banana. Thanks for a great recipe!

Any one have suggestions for these WITHOUT FLAX. I deathly allergic and don’t know what to add/subtract to make up for it.

My daughter has a fructose allergy so we can’t do applesauce. Can I substitute oil or is there something healthier you can suggest? Thanks!

Can you provide other recipes that you use chia seeds in? I found them at the store but they were super expensive. I could justify it if I could use them in more than 1 recipe. Thanks!

These look to be just the snack for me! My only variations would be unsweetened rice milk and unsweetened carob chips. I need to purchase some chia seeds and flaxseed meal for the recipe, and some liquid stevia too … just to have it available for all sorts of treats.
