Ingredients

  • 1 cup amaranth seeds
  • 4 cups water

For Serving

  • fresh or dried fruit of your choice
  • raw honey
  • ground cinnamon
  • light coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Combine amaranth seeds and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower heat to a simmer and cook, stirring, until creamy, about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly the last five minutes of cooking (porridge will sputter). If porridge seems thick, add more water.
