Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa uncooked
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon stevia
  • 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut

For the flax egg

  • 1 tablespoon flaxmeal
  • 2 tablespoon water

Optional toppings

  • handful blackcurrants and redcurrants optional, or other fruit
  • coconut cream
  • fresh berries
  • desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175C / 350F.
  • Make a flax egg by combining the flaxmeal and water. Stir well and set aside for ten minutes.
  • Remove a few tablespoon of the coconut cream (top of the can of coconut) for a topping, if you wish, and set aside.
  • Combine all the ingredients (other than the toppings) in an ovenproof dish and stir very thoroughly. Bake for approximately 60 minutes (check after 50 minutes), until it has mostly solidified. Give it a stir halfway through to ensure the quinoa soaks up the liquid and cooks evenly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Top with coconut cream, fruit and a pinch of desiccated coconut. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to leave the flax egg to combine for at least ten minutes. This will give it time to become more gelatinous in texture and bind the bake.
  • Stir very thoroughly when combining the ingredients, and at least once during cook time.
  • Leave to cool for a few minutes as it will be very hot straight out the oven!
