Ingredients
Scale
Grains
- 1/2 cup steel cut oats (not quick cooking)
- 1/2 cup farro (rinsed in a fine sieve and drained)
- 1/2 cup amaranth (rinsed in a fine sieve and drained)
Liquids & Flavorings
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 tsp heaping salt
- 1/2 cup milk (plus more to thin)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 – 2 Tbsp real maple syrup (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Combine grains and liquids: Add steel cut oats, farro, amaranth, water, and salt to a large saucepan and stir to mix evenly.
- Simmer grains: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the grains are nearly tender, about 25 minutes.
- Add milk and cinnamon: Pour in the milk and sprinkle the cinnamon into the porridge. Continue cooking while stirring frequently until the grains are tender and the porridge reaches your desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Thin with additional milk as needed.
- Sweeten and serve: Stir in maple syrup to taste. Add any desired toppings and serve the porridge warm.
Notes
- Use steel cut oats, not quick cooking oats, for the best texture.
- Rinse farro and amaranth thoroughly to remove any dust or impurities.
- Adjust the amount of milk and maple syrup according to your desired sweetness and creaminess.
- This porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and gently reheated with extra milk.
- For a vegan version, substitute milk with a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
