The verdict is in on this peach porridge: It’s split 50/50 between the four of us, but to be fair, Andy doesn’t like hot cereal or pudding or anything with that kind of texture. Zoe, who is 7, was the one I was most hoping would like it, and she didn’t—bummer. She is so picky!—argh! Ashley and I were the only ones who gobbled it up, happily. Oh, well, you can’t please everyone, right? I’ll keep trying to find more things Zoe will eat.
Coconut Peach Porridge
Add to crock pot before going to sleep (if you intend on having it for breakfast):
1 cup quinoa, soaked about a minute or two (to remove the bitter coating), and strained
2 cans coconut milk
2 cups applesauce
4 cups frozen (I didn’t defrost them first) organic peaches (woohoo—Costco)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup shredded coconut
Set to 8 hours, low.
Before serving add to the pot:
a pinch of salt
2 to 4 tbsp coconut sugar , depending on your taste
Top with extra peaches, cinnamon, and more coconut sugar if needed.

As usual, this looks sooooo yummy! I’m gonna try quinoa for breakfast tomorrow. I love warm and gooey things for breakfast, but too bad I don’t have any peaches :)I may try it with apples and raisins, that should also taste nice.

This is such a perfect blend in my opinion! Cinnamon and peaches really seal the deal for me. Oh and that little bit about putting it in the crock pot and waking up to yummy-ness… haha Love it!

this looks really yummy 🙂 i used to eat quinoa flakes for breakfast but it was so… plain. i’ve noticed that you use coconut sugar a lot in your recipes. im considering trying to use that since i am very sensitive to sugar (honey included- which makes it hard to use a lot of your recipes). and ive heard recently that agave is not all that healthy- who knew?? but coconut sugar sounds wonderful… do you think i could substitute it for the other kinds of sweeteners in your other recipes?

This sounds lovely, only that I don’t have a slow cooker ;-( Could I make it on the stove? I think I’ll add the peaches towards the end, or they’ll turn into mush. And would 1 cup of quinoa absorb all that much liquid…. I guess I never notice how much liquid goes in it… I kinda cook it on the fly and it’s always awesome 😉 Thank you for the ideas.
