Ingredients

  • 4 banana 3 of them mashed (just under 1 1/2 cups, or 370g, medium ripe
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract pure
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cloves ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup quinoa uncooked
  • 2 1/2 cups almond milk unsweetened vanilla
  • 1/4 cup almonds slivered

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the 3 mashed bananas, molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, ginger, cloves, allspice, and salt in a 2 1/2 to 3 quart casserole dish and mix well. Add the quinoa and stir until the quinoa is evenly distributed in the banana mixture.
  2. Whisk in the almond milk. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. In the morning, heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and whisk the mixture thoroughly.
  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake until the liquid is absorbed and the top of the quinoa is set, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  5. Turn your oven to high broil, uncover the pan. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds and lightly press them into the quinoa. Broil until the almonds just turn golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Watch closely, as they burn quickly!
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes. Thinly slice the remaining banana and divide it over the quinoa before serving.
