Ingredients

scale

1X 2X 3X

• ½ cup amaranth

• apples

• 1 tbsp cocoa powder

• 2 tbsp maple syrup (or agave syrup)

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• lemon (or lime)

Instructions

• 1

  First, rinse the amaranth thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed amaranth with 1 cup of water.



• 2

  Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the amaranth is cooked and the water is absorbed.



• 3

  While the amaranth is cooking, peel and grate the apples.



• 4

  Once the amaranth has cooled down a bit, stir in the cocoa powder, maple syrup (or agave syrup), cinnamon, zested lemon and grated apples. Mix well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the amaranth.

Tips

• Amaranth is a nutrient-dense grain and an excellent source of protein. It's essential to rinse it before cooking to remove any bitter saponins that may be present.

• You can customize this breakfast bowl by adding your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt for extra texture and flavor.

• If you prefer a thinner consistency for your breakfast bowl, you can adjust the water-to-amaranth ratio. For a thicker consistency, use less water.

• Experiment with different spices to tailor the flavor to your liking. Nutmeg, cardamom, or a pinch of sea salt can add a unique twist to the recipe.

• When choosing apples, consider using sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala for a pleasant contrast with the earthy flavor of amaranth. You can also leave the skin on for added nutrition and texture.

• If you're looking to increase the protein content of this breakfast bowl, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder or a handful of chia seeds.

Notes

• Amaranth is naturally gluten-free, making this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies.

• This vegan breakfast bowl is a great way to start your day with a healthy dose of fiber, antioxidants, and energy. It's perfect for those following a plant-based diet or looking for a nutritious breakfast option.

• Feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your taste by adding more or less maple syrup (or agave syrup). You can also use other natural sweeteners like honey if you're not strictly vegan.

• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick and convenient breakfast option on busy mornings. Simply add a bit of water or plant-based milk while reheating to reach your desired consistency.
