I love quinoa. Slowly I am getting the family on board with quinoa as well. When I saw this recipe I was intrigued. I wasn't sure it would actually get that nice crunchy topping.
Well, it did get nice and crunchy but soften up pretty quickly. This is a dessert best eaten soon out of the oven. Almonds and blueberries go so well together.
