Hot Peach Cereal

Ingredients

6 peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 cup canned coconut milk
2/3 cup roasted cashews, plus more for serving, optional
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
1/2 cup craisins, plus more for serving, optional

Directions

1. Slice and reserve 1 peach. Set aside 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
2. Peel and remove pit from remaining 5 peaches and cut into 1-inch chunks. Add the peach chunks, remaining 3/4 cup coconut milk and 2/3 cup water to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half and the peaches are tender and can be easily mashed with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently mash the peaches, making sure to leave some chunks for texture.
3. Meanwhile, pulse the cashews in a food processor until they are completely ground and resemble flour (be careful not to make butter). Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the flaxseed and cinnamon. Fold the cashew-flax mixture and craisins into the mashed peach mixture and stir until well combined.
4. Divide the porridge among 4 bowls and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the reserved coconut milk. Top each bowl with peach slices, crushed cashews if using, craisins if using, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes: This went over really well with about half my family. The other half ate it without complaining but also without enthusiasm. I ran out of cashews so used sliced almonds to make up the difference and as the topping. The peaches I used were still crispy and refusing to ripen so it took at least twice the amount of time to cook them.
