How to Make Creamy Quinoa Pudding

Combine 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups soy milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Stir in 2 tablespoons sesame butter and 2 tablespoons barley malt until well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons kudzu root powder (or arrowroot powder) with 2 tablespoons cold soy milk to create a smooth slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the quinoa mixture, stirring constantly until the pudding thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or other desired spices).
Pour into individual serving bowls and top with your favorite nuts (e.g., 1/4 cup chopped almonds) and/or fruits (e.g., 1/2 cup berries).
Enjoy warm or chilled! Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for a chilled dessert.
