RECIPE: Sweet and Spiced Amaranth Breakfast Porridge
- Yield: Makes 4 servings 1x
Description
This nutrient-dense ancient grain makes for a lovely weekday breakfast. This spiced version has cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg with butter, milk, and local honey. It pairs well with a bowl of fresh, seasonal fruit. Add the spices a little bit at a time to make sure it suits your taste. When looking for spices, we like Burlap & Barrel for their transparency, quality, and community.

- Bring the amaranth and water to a boil in a pot. Reduce to a simmer, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Stir in the spices, honey, butter, and milk. Divide the porridge among 4 bowls and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt and more honey to taste. Serve alongside your favorite seasonal fruit.

Amaranth can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days. It reheats well with a bit of liquid.
