    Fanfrickintastic. This is one of my new favorite breakfasts. The only thing I changed is adding a dash of pumpkin pie spice on top (next time I'll probably add it in the quinoa crunch before I bake it). The cinnamony flavor really makes it pop! - 5/16/11

    This is sooo incredibly yummy! The quinoa burned when I followed the baking instructions, so I lowered the heat to 350 degrees and baked only 18 minutes. - 6/12/10

    I have this one too, it is yummy and very crunchy. However, I found it only made 6 servings when I made it. So that upped the calories a bit. I will try the cinnamon next time! - 6/2/10
