Quinoa porridge is a warm and cozy dish, perfect for the cool mornings that are upon us. It's also a great way to use leftover quinoa, which, if you're like me, you might make in batches often.
Obviously I needed to test out a version that incorporated peanut butter, because, it's true, I love anything peanut butter.
This peanut butter quinoa porridge is a vehicle for whatever toppings you desire. I suggest any combination of: fresh fruit (bananas, apples, berries), dried fruit, nuts (especially toasted), jam (especially warmed), granola, shaved or powdered chocolate, or maybe even some more nut butter if you're feeling crazy. :)
