Say hello to one of my favorite summer breakfasts folks.
I’m sure you guys are all familiar with quinoa. But for breakfast?
I know. Sounds a bit off the beaten path for breakfast, am I right?
I’ve always been a fan of quinoa. In salads, soups, tacos, and especially my Beef and Quinoa Enchilada Skillet, but I enjoy it for breakfast too.
It’s hearty and satisfying and keeps me from unnecessary snacking which is important to me.
And to make these breakfast bowls extra delicious, I called in my good friends from Diamond of CA Nuts.
Their Heirloom Nut and Fruit Blend was the perfect topping for these delicious little breakfast bowls.
They’ve got three fantastic blends; pecan, walnut and marcona almond. I chose the pecan which is a blend of pecans, dried honeycrisp apples and dried peaches.
Diamond’s blends are also the perfect little addition to top off your morning yogurt or even straight out of the bag for your afternoon snack.
These tasty creations are a much healthier option to traditional trail mixes. They’re vegan-friendly, flavor-packed and use only premium dried fruits and specialty nuts.
To whip these beauties up, I cook the quinoa in a mixture of milk, peach nectar and cinnamon which gives it a warm, creamy, peachy flavor. Then I add some brown sugar for sweetness, fresh chopped peaches, because, hello, summer peaches are to die for, then top it all off with some of Diamond’s nut and fruit blend and a drizzle of honey and….breakfast is served. Enjoy!
A Few Cook’s Notes for Peachy Quinoa Breakfast Bowls Recipe:
I enjoy these bowls with warm quinoa, but they can also be enjoyed cold.
You can find canned peach nectar at your local food market in the international section.

It really is such a great option Gerlinde! I love the sweet/creamy flavor the peach nectar and milk give the quinoa.
Mary Ann, your timing is perfect! I just bought a huge bag of quinoa at Costco and was wondering how I would use it all – I never considered having it for breakfast. But you’ve changed that in one gorgeous recipe! So excited to try this!!
