Creamy Amaranth Porridge
An earthy, sweet and creamy alternative to oat porridge.
Ingredients
- 1 cup amaranth, uncooked
- 3 cups milk (I used Alpro Soy Light)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (and/or ginger powder, nutmeg, or similar)
- 2 bananas
- Optional: maple syrup, popped amaranth, nuts, berries, cacao nibs, nut butter
Instructions
- Combine milk, amaranth and cinnamon in a pan with a tight fitting lid. Bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and place the lid on the pan. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mash a banana in a bowl.
- When the liquid is absorbed, you should have a creamy mixture with a slight chew to it (but no crunch). Mix the mashed banana through.
- Divide between 2 serving bowls. Top with anything you desire. I used maple syrup, cacao nibs, almonds, and popped amaranth.
