Dessert for dinner anyone? You can eat this Maple Pecan Quinoa any time of the day! It's super filling, buttery and delicious…
I could eat this Maple Pecan Quinoa again and again! It's a great meal if you are heading out and won't be eating again for a while because it's loaded with fibre and protein.
It's everything we love in a dessert..sweet, creamy, warm…all packed into a perfect serving of what some may call “super food”.

Maple Pecan Quinoa
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup dry quinoa, 57g
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, 7g
- dash of salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Truvia Sweetener, or more to taste
- 20g raisins, ~2 tbsp
- 5g unsweetened desiccated coconut, ~1 tbsp
- 1 ounce chopped pecans, 1-2 tbsp chopped
- 1-2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup, I recommend ChocZero Sugar Free Maple Syrup
Directions:
- In a small pot, combine quinoa, water and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa absorbs all water and is fluffy.
- At this point, keep the heat on and stir in your additional dash of salt, coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla & cinnamon to taste.
- Then add in your pecans, coconut and raisins. Stir and spoon into a serving bowl.
- Enjoy hot with a drizzle of syrup (I like to keep the syrup beside me and add a little at a time as I eat, stirring to combine it.)
Enjoy your Maple Pecan Quinoa!
