I wanted to make a vegan version, so I submitted 2 Tbls ground flax seed meal + 6 Tbls warm water for the eggs; and used almond milk instead of cow’s milk. Mix the flax seed meal with the warm water and let it congeal before mixing in the milk and syrup. (I started with that and let it sit while I mixed the quinoa and spices, and cut the pear and pecans.) It is very delish! Thanks Katie.

great ideas, wondered if anyone tried anything besides quinoa, everyone in the house doesnt like it as much as other grains maybe even oats, or millet thanks

You shouldn’t need to precook it – you could try baking it a little longer to ensure it bakes through (the top layer will stay crunchy, though). As for a firmer consistency, I would try adding an extra egg (or even two).

Loved the taste but it falls apart and the quinoa didn’t completely cook. Any suggestions? Do I need to precook quinoa? Someone suggested mixing everything together in a bowl and then into pan. Would love to hear suggestions.

I adapted this recipe a bit . . . doubled it for one thing – then adding hemp hearts and ground flax, as well as omitting the cloves (too strong). I used half coconut milk, half almond milk, and added dried cranberries instead of raisins, and chopped dried apricots. So, So, So Yummy! I made the original recipe about a month ago – but all ingredients didn’t mix well in the pan – so I mixed it all up in a bowl first, then poured in to the pan. It baked up beautifully! Thanks so much for this awesome recipe. My new fav!

I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure. Since mixing the ingredients up only takes about 10 minutes, compared to the hour of baking, I think I would either make the whole thing the night before (including baking) and reheat in the morning, or do the whole thing in the morning and budget in that extra 10 minutes. Let me know how it goes!

Is it ok to assemble this the night before and let it sit overnight? Will it get soggy or not cook evenly? I have guests coming next week who are gluten free vegetarians. Trying to make a make-ahead breakfast is proving to be a challenge! This looks like it may check all the boxes. Thanks.

Hi Mary - so glad you enjoyed the recipe! I think if you added oats to this recipe, they would definitely cook, but might have a funny texture when combined with the quinoa. There are lots of great baked oatmeal dishes out there if that's what you're looking for - this baked blackberry oatmeal is one of my favorites!

Just made the recipe adapted from pop sugar. Easy, beautiful baked dish. I was wondering if you can easily add oatmeal to the recipe?
Look forward to your response.
Thank you

Oh my goodness, this looks awesome. I have a pretty tough crowd in the form of two little girls to impress at the breakfast table and this recipe will totally knock their socks off! Thanks for sharing this unique take on the pre-made breakfast.

Thanks, Sarah! No specific filter – I do all my editing in Lightroom.

That photo made me desperate to eat this! Looks absolutely gorgeous, like a breakfast crumble. What filter (if any) is on that image?
