Notes

  • The equipment section above includes affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and recommend. 
  • Avoid over-stirring if you want clusters.
  • Sub any liquid sweetener for the maple syrup if you don’t have it (honey, agave nectar)
  • The quinoa is optional but adds a great texture.
