I added more cinnamon and ginger then recipes called for to my liking I too mine w raw pumpkin seeds for some crunch and you could add some sliced banana I also added a little more pumpkin to my taste As well

I really like this recipe, because it's a great base for me. I add plain Greek yogurt, dried cherries and chopped nuts when I am ready to eat. I adjusted the recipe in the following ways: 1. Add the spices to the water, so the quinoa cooks in the spiced water and soaks up the flavors. 2. When I add the pumpkin, I add some vanilla extract. I don't use any maple syrup but again add dried fruit and other flavors. I think most people would prefer maple syrup. 3. I also make this into 4 portions for my week, so I can just grab, warm, add my goodies and go!

This is better than I thought it would be! I cooked the quinoa in half almond/coconut milk and half in water to make it creamier, and the maple syrup makes it nice and sweet with notable pumpkin flavors-a lovely fall breakfast!
