This High Protein Apple Pie Quinoa Pudding is the perfect meal to fuel your day! With a blend of warm cinnamon apples, creamy quinoa, and an impressive 16g of protein per serving, this dish is satisfying, comforting, incredibly easy to make and perfect for meal prep!
Ingredients:
2 apples, chopped (medium sized, I used Honeycrisp)
2 tsp of butter
1 tbsp maple syrup (use any liquid sweetener)
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Quinoa Pudding:
1/2 cup quinoa, 85g (white quinoa is best)
2 1/4 cups milk, soy 540g (or whole milk , unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened almond milk, etc Remember, the higher the fat in the milk, the creamier it will be)
1-2 tbsp maple syrup 15-30g (use whatever sweetener you like)
1/3 cup egg whites, 80g (or egg whites from 3 large eggs)
2 serving Essential Aminos Enhanced Collagen Protein, 50-60g (or 1 serving of your favorite protein powder) USE CODE NINI25 FOR 25% OFF
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Directions:
In a medium sized sauce pot, on low to medium heat, add the butter. Once melted add the chopped apples, cook for 4-5 min to soften. Next add your maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
To make our Quinoa Pudding, place quinoa in a mesh colander. Rinse thoroughly with cold water (until the water runs clear) and allow to drain.
In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 2 cups of milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and collagen powder, stir until incorporated and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to a low simmer and place the lid on the pot, but don’t seal it completely—leave a small gap so steam can escape as it simmers. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring about every 5-6 minutes or so.
Taste it at 18-20 min mark, once it does not have a hard bite to it add your extra ¼ cup of milk and egg whites. Cook on low to medium heat and continuously stir for 2 min. Remember, you don’t want all the liquid to absorb because it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Now add your cooked cinnamon apples, stir them through and remove from heat. If you feel that too much liquid has been absorbed or you want it creamier, add another 2 tbsp or so of milk, stir through.
Transfer to a container with a lid, refrigerate once it has cooled. You can enjoy this pudding warm or cold. Sprinkle with your favorite granola and add some coconut milk kefir or your favorite Greek yogurt.
Keep refrigerated up to 3-4 days
NOTE:
You can toast the quinoa in 1/2 tbsp of butter for 1-2 min on medium low heat before adding your liquid. This adds another depth of flavor.
