Quinoa Pudding with Pecan, Apple, and Rhubarb
Baking and Desserts • American
Description
The consistency is slightly thicker than a thick porridge, meaning you won't be able to cut it into pieces. You can only scoop it with a spoon and drizzle with sauce. You can make it with apples and pears (2 apples + 1 pear) if you don't have rhubarb on hand. It's best not to substitute pecans with walnuts due to the difference in flavor. It's simpler to omit them altogether.

Blend 1.5 cups of almond milk and two mashed ripe bananas, maple syrup, and vanilla in a food processor (it's best to use black seeds, but you can substitute with extract by reducing the amount).
