Amaranth Cereal

Amaranth Cereal Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 2)

1/2 cup Amaranth grain

1 1/2 cups water

1 cup water

1/2 cup almond milk

2 tablespoons honey (see substitutes)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Combine water and Amaranth. Bring to a boil then turn heat down and let simmer 20-25 minutes until the water is absorbed. Be watchful at the end of cooking to not burn the seeds. Overcooking turns Amaranth to mush.

Combine cooked Amaranth, almond milk, honey, andcinnamon. Enjoy!

Substitutions and Additions

Agave nectar or brown sugar can be substituted for the honey.

Substitute your favorite milk for the almond milk (soy milk, coconut milk, regular milk, etc.)

Add yogurt for a creamier texture

Play with the topping in this Amaranth recipe, consider adding your favorite fruit instead of the honey and cinnamon.
