VEGAN Porridge 3 Ways - 2 Methods - Ft: Oat, Quinoa & Amaranth

10/13/2017 0 Comments
 
​Porridge, while not the most exciting name in the world, it is misleading for within the bowl is a warm hearty breakfast and a palette for a variety of flavor sensations.

Amaranth Porridge
 Our favorite is with a simple berry compote on top, a little dairy free milk and an optional drizzle of agave or sprinkle of coconut sugar. It makes for a warming breakfast that is great to start the day! Sweeten to your preference, flavor to suit your needs, this is a great base and shows you the versatility of creamy porridge. In the 3 minute video I demonstrate oat porridge using two methods, as well as show amaranth and quinoa. Get the recipe below. 

May we all shine bright! Have a great weekend!

The Base:
  • 1/2 Cup Grain (oats, quinoa, amaranth, teff etc)
  • 1 1/2 Cups Water (could also use dairy free milk)
  • Pinch Sea Salt

Ideas to enhance - stir in:
  • Desired Sweetener to taste (agave, maple syrup, stevia, coconut sugar...)
  • Drizzle Dairy Free Milk
  • Cinnamon (pumpkin spice, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cloves...)
  • Opt: Raisins (dried fruit, fresh fruit, frozen fruit, nuts etc...) 

Topping Ideas: 
  • Dairy free milk and a drizzle of maple syrup or agave
  • Berries & Dairy free milk - heat together with desired sweetener until thickens.
  • Unsweetened chia jam
  • Mash in a banana and top with banana, opt coconut flakes and a strawberry
  • Cacao nibs, seeds, nuts, seasonal fruit, chocolate, nut or seed butter, granola etc. Have fun!

Peaceful Preparation:
  1. Bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the grain of choice. Stir constantly, a wooden spoon or the end of it is great here, cook for 15 minutes. Some grains like quinoa or amaranth may have to go 20+ minutes. 
  2. Stir in a little dairy free milk, any sweetener as desired and optional spices like cinnamon. Sometimes we add raisins or fruit.
  3. Top with anything you desire. More dairy free milk, extra drizzle of syrup and a little jam or berry compote on top is our absolute favorite. 

Method 2: 
  1. Add the grain to the water, stir constantly.
  2. Once boiling then add the pinch of salt. Cook oats for 5 minutes (or longer for other grains - 10-15 minutes), stirring constantly.
  3. Flavor as desired.
