Amaranth Porridge with Peanut Butter and Banana (Dairy & Egg-Free)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Amaranth
• 1 1/2 cups Water
• 1 medium Banana
• 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
• 1/4 cup Plant-Based Milk
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• pinch unit Salt

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup Amaranth and the 1 1/2 cups Water. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, which should take about 5 minutes. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The amaranth is cooked when it has absorbed most of the liquid and has a creamy texture, resembling cooked rice.
2. 2While the amaranth is simmering, prepare the banana. Peel the 1 medium Banana and mash it thoroughly in a small bowl using a fork until it is smooth and no large chunks remain.
3. 3Once the amaranth is cooked, add the mashed banana, the 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter, the 1/4 cup Plant-Based Milk, the 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon, and the pinch of Salt to the saucepan. Stir everything together until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. 4Continue to cook the porridge over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring constantly, until it is heated through. The porridge should be warm and fragrant.
5. 5Remove the saucepan from the heat. Serve the Amaranth Porridge with Peanut Butter and Banana immediately in two bowls.
