For the Amar

Method

• Step 1

  Pour amaranth into pot followed by milk and water. Whisk in cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 25-30 minutes. The amaranth will only thicken at the end.

• Step 2

  While amaranth is simmering, melt coconut oil in a small pot. Add banana slices and sprinkle with coconut sugar and pinch of salt. Cook for about 2 minutes and then flip and cook for about 2 minutes more. You want them soft, but not falling apart.

• Step 3

  Scoop amaranth into bowls and top with caramelized bananas and other desired toppings! Enjoy!
