I'm making quinoa brownies but my quinoa is already cooked and I'm new to this. Please help?

    I just googled this and it said it increases in size by 4. LOL So if I cook 1 cup dry it is 4 cups cooked. Does this sound right?

    I was going to say 3 times. Definitely more than 2.

    When I cook it I put 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of quinoa, so it's probably between 2 and 3, assuming some comes off as steam.
