Ingredients

• 1 cup white quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.
2. Combine the rinsed quinoa, whole milk, beaten eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl.
3. Whisk the mixture vigorously for 1 full minute until completely smooth and emulsified.
4. Pour the quinoa mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
5. Sprinkle the sliced almonds and dried cranberries evenly over the top of the mixture.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center appears set when you gently jiggle the pan.
7. Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for 15 minutes to allow the custard to fully set.
8. Cut into 6 equal portions using a sharp knife dipped in warm water between slices for clean edges.

Delightfully creamy with a satisfying crunch from the toasted almonds, this bake offers a wonderful contrast of textures. The subtle sweetness from the maple syrup complements the nutty quinoa beautifully. Try serving it warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries for a complete breakfast experience.
