Amaranth Breakfast Porridge with Blueberries and Hemp Seeds

Yields1 ServingCook Time25 mins

Oatmeal is well and good for breakfast, but have you tried amaranth? The tiny grains look like a miniature

 ¾ cup amaranth, soaked overnight if possible
 2 cups water
 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
 ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
 1 tablespoon coconut oil
 Nondairy milk, to taste
 Maple syrup, to taste
 3 tablespoons hemp seeds
1

Rinse the amaranth in a very fine mesh strainer, and combine with the water, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the grains are cooked and the porridge is thickened. (If you soaked your amaranth, it may take as little as 15 minutes to cook.)

Remove the porridge from the heat and stir in the blueberries and coconut oil. Portion into serving bowls and add nondairy milk and maple syrup to taste, then sprinkle with hemp seeds. Serve hot.
