Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup amaranth rinsed
  • 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup dried sweet cherries
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes toasted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine all the ingredients except the coconut flakes in a medium sauce pot. Bring to a boil then remove from heat and pour into a greased baking dish (*see note).
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the amaranth.
  • Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes then spoon into bowl to serve.
  • Top with toasted coconut flakes and pour additional almond milk in bowl if desired.

Notes

*Use an 8x8 or smaller baking dish. I used coconut oil to grease.
