Blueberry Quinoa with Lemon Glaze Recipe

Blueberry Quinoa with Lemon Glaze Recipe

  • Blueberry Quinoa:
  • 6 cups apple juice
  • 3 cups quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • Lemon Glaze:
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  1. Combine apple juice, quinoa, and vanilla extract in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  2. Gently fold blueberries into hot quinoa. Pour blueberry mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cool until quinoa is set.
  3. Whisk almond milk, water, and cornstarch together in a small saucepan over high heat. Add lemon juice and maple syrup; cook, stirring constantly, until glaze is thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour hot glaze over quinoa to cover it completely. Cool to room temperature. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
