Sprouted Amaranth Porridge

A wonderful alternative to oatmeal, sprouted amaranth porridge makes a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

Don’t let oats get all the breakfast glory, switch up your breakfast porridge routine with some sprouted amaranth. When amaranth is cooked as a porridge it takes on a thick consistency but the grain remains whole, adding a slight crunch. Sprouted amaranth has an earthy, slightly sweet flavour that pairs well with other earthy flavours like nuts and nut butters, or tart flavours like berries.

Topping ideas:

Nut butter
Chopped nuts
Granola
Chia seeds
Hemp hearts
Fresh or cooked berries
Coconut

You can try the recipe with other types of milk but they may scald, and I find coconut milk really helps to give it a thick porridge consistency (and a nice flavour).
