Spiced Peach Quinoa Porridge – Little Big H

/

This Spiced peach quinoa porridge is a lovely warm and comforting breakfast – perfect now that the weather is getting a little cool.

It has quite a savoury taste without the addition of fresh peaches on top and the maple syrup.  If you like things a little sweeter, stir through some sweetener of your choice after cooking.  

If you remember you can soak the quinoa the night before and it will take less time to cook in the morning.  If peaches aren’t in season, apples would make a lovely substitute – but use whatever fruit you have on hand.  I often make this when I have fruit in the fridge that is overripe and no longer good for eating.  

If using very ripe fruit, I suggest adding the fruit in toward the end of cooking the quinoa, rather than at the start.
