Creamy Amaranth Porridge Recipe

Amaranth is a type of seed that contains a lot of fibre and protein. It also contains good amounts of calcium, iron and magnesium. It’s gluten-free. Adjusting the almond milk to your desired thickness can make the porridge creamier or lighter, catering to your personal taste preferences.

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup amaranth seeds
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• Pinch of Himalayan salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped dried fruit of your choice
• Handful of almonds or other nuts
• Cinnamon powder

Preparation

1. Prepare in a small saucepan: Combine the amaranth seeds, water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.

2. Bring to a boil: Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir frequently throughout the cooking process, which typically takes around 20 minutes. The goal is to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

3. Creamy addition: Once the amaranth reaches the desired consistency, introduce the almond milk into the mix. Stir thoroughly until the porridge obtains a delightful creaminess.

4. Serve with style: Pour the hot porridge into a serving bowl. Top it generously with your choice of dried fruits, nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a touch more almond milk, if preferred.
