Directions
Bring the quinoa, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and syrup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.

Mix in the peanut butter and cocoa powder until all mixed together and warmed up again.

Remove from heat and add nuts if you wish. I put into 2 x 125ml mason jars to store or eat at work.

    I tried quinoa for the first time using this recipe and it was delicious! Definitely a do again! - 2/6/21

    I made a few changes and it was still good: coconut milk and water instead of almond, stevia instead of syrup, Barlean's Greens chocolate instead of cocoa, and then I added some chia seeds because I had it too watery. Delish change from steel cut oats! Next time I'll smash in my banana. - 11/24/13
