Spiced Cashew Plum Rice Porridge

Published: May 4, 2015 Β· Modified: May 4, 2015 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by California Dried Plum Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.


A spiced rice porridge cooked with cashew milk and dried plum. Perfect for a unique and naturally sweet breakfast to fuel your day. Gluten-free, vegan, and free of refined sugars, a whole grain breakfast never tasted so good!

Dried plums, prunes, whatever you want to cal them, they are actually pretty tasty! Apparently, May is also National Osteoporosis Month (really, May is a great month for health awareness!) and bone health is extremely important, especially for women. There's been a recent study showing that eating 2 servings of (100g) dried plums a day over a year, was associated with increased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. An even more recent study just last month showed that even just one serving of dried plums may be just as effective at preventing bone loss.

Some other fun dried plum tid-bits: every serving (4-5 dried plums) has less than 100 calories, 3g of fiber, 293mg of potassium, 16mg of magnesium, and are loaded with more vitamin K than other dried fruits. I'd never personally eaten dried plums or used them in my cooking before, but after getting a chance to do so, I am now a new fan! All those health benefits and a great natural sweetener, they're pretty powerful little things πŸ˜‰ O, and they're great for digestive health too....I'm always in need of that!

I also took this plum-tastic opportunity to make a breakfast "rice porridge" so to speak. Oats, quinoa, buckwheat, all great for breakfast, but so is rice! I need my carbs and sweetness in the morning, it's the only way I can start my day. I even made this one sans chocolate! I know! Shocker! but I included my other favorite thing...cashews!

All the spices I included play so well with the sweetness of the dried plums and the creaminess of the cashew milk. It's kind of an Indian dish too. The porridge has that subtle golden color from turmeric which I adore! While I was making this down in my dorm's floor kitchen, I got many inquires as to what smelled so fantastic! I knew I had a winner on my hands before I even got to try it.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

+ Β½ Cup Country Wild RiceΒ (rinsed)

+ 1 ΒΌ Cup Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk

+ Β½ Cup California Dried Plums (roughly chopped)

+ ΒΌ Tsp Cinnamon

+ 1 Cinnamon Stick

+ ΒΌ Tsp Turmeric

+ β…› Tsp Nutmeg

+ β…› Tsp Allspice

Directions:

+ Bring the 1 ΒΌ cup of cashew milk to a boil, add the rinsed rice, plums, and spices (everything but the cashews) in to the pot and reduce to a low simmer.

+ Cook covered for about 40-50 minutes. It depends on the rice you use, or until the milk is absorbed. Remove the cinnamon stick and let sit for 10 minutes.

+ Now mix in the cashews and serve!

Sweetness, spicyness, superior health benefits, and super creamy cashew goodness, this is a spectacular breakfast πŸ˜‰ (Please applaud the "S" alliteration, I tried!). Or maybe I should just post recipes and pictures with now words...That might suit my calling a little better!

Spiced Cashew Plum Rice Porridge | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #breakfast #glutenfree #vegan #sponsored

Side note: after I forced myself to make this recipe in the dorm floor kitchen on gluten death, I had to carry this dish, (plus another I had made), my camera and lenses, a white board, and what-not down to the dining hall where there are windows for natural light. I actually didn't get many weird looks which was surprising, but having to swipe my card and open many doors was rather difficult. At least I don't have to do that again! (Just a few more days!)

So tell me:

+ Ever eat dried plum/prunes? (No jokes, I know what you're thinking!)

+ Any unique breakfast recipes you've whipped up lately? Share!

    Not your usual breakfast fare - nice switching it up. This sounds good and I'm not even a big fan of dried fruit (or plums in general). I would try this for sure. And rice for breakfast - great idea =)

    Beautiful recipe! I love dried plums! We buy a bag of Sunsweet Plum Amazins whenever we see them at the store. They go great mixed with oatmeal or yogurt. I recently branched out and made chia seed pudding for breakfast. Odd texture, but still getting used to it.

        Last night, he really turned his nose up at dinner: Homemade Chicken Wonton Soup with Bok Choy. He called it "food they serve to prisoners to punish them". I must still be salty about it and it came across. Sorry about that. I, for one, think that your porridge looks delicious, especially the cashews and seasoning combination. However, I would have to substitute the dried plums. I don't know what's wrong with my taste buds, but dried plums taste like Worcestershire sauce to me. It's the strangest thing! I know that they taste sweet to other people. I guess it's how people think cilantro tastes like soap but I love it.

    My hubby just went GF and has been needing some breakfast ideas, other than cereal. He loves rice and he is going to be so into this!

    I am in love with the fact that you added dried plums! A lot of people think they are gross, but I LOVE them!

      I'd never actually had them before! I'm always surprised by how much I do actually like dried fruits!

    You are on a making savory foods sweet kick, and I like it! I love my sweeter foods, and this is a great one. i really do not have enough rice...especially for sweeter things, I have been saying I am going to make rice pudding for a long time now.....maybe it is time to try! Thanks for linking up for meatless monday today!

      I like my subtle sweetness, but never too much, so this was perfect! I'd always wanted to make a breakfast rice porridgey dish too so this was perfect!
