I've made this recipe two times and it's absolutely delicious! This recipe is and will be my only go to when I make amaranth porridge. I've been simmering it with a cinnamon stick and using vegan protein broth for the liquid. Thanks for sharing!

So delicious with banana slices warmed in the porridge toward the end of cooking and honey added at the end.

I didn't see the the instructions to soak the amaranth, I just bunged everything into my little slow cooker for a few hours. My " magic porridge pot" made it delicious..even though my amaranth was 10 years out of date! Also put in quinoa, buckwheat flour, grated ginger, chopped dates, half a jar of stewed blackberries,  sesame seeds, one spoon of molasses, cinnamon and a banana. Going to portion up the rest and freeze it. Yum yum yum!

The recipe doesn’t include actual specifics for cooking this special grain. The timing required for simmering is indefinite, undefined in this recipe.
