What Makes This Recipe Unique
This dish combines the nutty flavors of quinoa with the comforting texture of rice, making it both satisfying and nutritious. It’s packed with protein and fiber, perfect for starting your day with lasting energy. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and easy to customize with your favorite toppings.
Step 1
Combin 1 cup of quinoa, 1 cup of brown rice, almond milk, honey, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a pot over medium heat. Stir everything together and let it warm up for about 5 minutes until the almond milk is heated through.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk an egg until smooth. Slowly add a bit of the hot milk mixture to the egg, whisking constantly to bring the egg up to temperature without scrambling it.
Step 3
Pour the warmed egg mixture back into the pot. Then stir in the remaining 1/2 cup quinoa, 1/2 cup brown rice, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring the whole thing to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer. Keep an eye on it as it thickens, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
Once it’s nice and creamy, spoon the pudding into bowls and enjoy!
