Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Spelt Berries
- 1 tsp Vegan Butter You can also use oil Omit this ingredient and skip toasting the spelt for an oil-free version.
- 3 Cups Water
- 1 Cup Non-dairy milk Choose a creamy one! This recipe was created with soy milk.
- 2 Large Peaches Cut into 1/2" pieces, plus more for topping
- 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup You can also use brown sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract Optional
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- ⅛ tsp Cinnimon Optional
- VeaganCcream Optional, for topping
- Chopped Peacans Optional, for the topping
- More Maple Syrup or Brown Surgar For the topping, optional
Instructions
- Put the spelt berries into your blender or food processor, and run it for a few seconds to break it down. Some of the spelt will break down into flour, and you'll end up with a slightly chunky mixture.
- In a small pan on medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Add the blended spelt and cook, stirring, for just a few minutes until it starts to smell nice and toasty.
- Add the water, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, add the peaches, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon to a bowl. Toss well and set aside while the spelt cooks.
- Add the non-dairy milk and the peach mixture to the pan. Increase the heat to medium and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, uncovered, until the spelt reaches a porridge-like consistency. You can add more splashes of non-dairy milk if it's getting too thick. It depends on how juicy your peaches are and how thick you want the porridge to be.
- Serve topped with a drizzle of vegan cream, chopped pecans and peaches, and more maple syrup or brown sugar, to taste.

Leftovers will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. You can warm leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop.
This porridge thickens considerably when it is chilled, but it will soften when you warm it up. You may need to stir in splashes of water or vegan milk to get it creamy again.
