I have some Truvia Stevia Leaf Extract.
How much of this would I use in place of a tablespoon of maple syrup in this recipe. Currently I use Maple syrup, but not the banana. I'm trying to make it healthier whilst keeping it kosher.
I also have some "Stevia sweet" tablets. It says that two of these tablets are equivalent to a teapsoonful of sugar. How many tablets would equate to a tablespoonful of maple syrup?
What other changes should I make to the recipe if I use stevia as the flavour with maple syrup is delicious?
If I'm using Stevia, then when should I add it - at the end like the Maple syrup or nearer the beginning of the process?
One change I've made to the recipe is to add more milk and let the Quinoa stand for 5 minutes before adding the cacao and maple syrup. It stops the quinoa getting stuck in my teeth. Again, when is the best time to add the stevia?
Quinoa Chocolate Porridge
Ingredients
▢80 g quinoa raw, rinsed, approx. ½ cup
▢240 ml milk, any adjust the amount to suit your preference
▢1 tbsp cocoa/cacao powder
▢1 tbsp maple syrup optional, see Notes below
▢1 large or 2 small bananas mashed
▢pinch of salt
Instructions
In a saucepan combine the quinoa with the milk and a pinch of salt, cover and bring to the boil. Milk rises as it heats up so make sure it doesn’t spill out of the pot. Lower the heat and simmer gently, covered for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cocoa and maple syrup (if using), stir thoroughly, cover and continue cooking gently for 3 more minutes stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat, stir in the mashed banana and serve. Add a splash of milk if the porridge is too thick.
