Kickstart your day with our protein-packed Amaranth Breakfast Bowl featuring spiced pear and pistachios. A nutritious, gluten-free morning win!
Ingredients
- • amaranth: 1 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • ripe pears: 2, cored and sliced
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1/2 cup
- • pistachios: 1/4 cup, shelled and roughly chopped
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: pinch
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Rinse the amaranth under cold water and drain. In a medium saucepan, combine the amaranth and water, bringing it to a boil over medium heat.
- 2 Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.
- 3 While the amaranth cooks, prepare the spiced pears. In a small pan over medium heat, add the sliced pears, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the pears are soft and fragrant.
- 4 Once the amaranth is cooked, stir in the almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- 5 Divide the amaranth mixture into bowls. Top with the spiced pears and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
Serving Suggestions
- • This breakfast bowl pairs beautifully with a tall glass of freshly pressed orange juice or herbal tea, enhancing its refreshing qualities. For an even more nutritious meal, consider topping your bowl with a handful of fresh berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, adding a burst of color and additional antioxidants. If you're feeling indulgent, a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side can add creaminess and a probiotic punch. For a cozy, comforting breakfast experience, serve this dish warm and savor the aromatic spices and textures that awaken your senses. Perfect for a brisk morning, it invites you to take a moment of mindfulness before starting your day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover amaranth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of almond milk to regain its creamy texture. The spiced pears can also be stored in a separate container in the fridge for up to two days. When ready to enjoy, combine both components and heat gently, adding fresh garnishes before serving.
