Banana Almond Teff Porridge
Description
This Banana Almond Teff Porridge combines teff, a whole grain, cooked gently in a mixture of water and unsweetened vanilla almond milk along with coconut oil and ground cinnamon. The addition of sliced banana directly in the cooking liquid imparts natural sweetness and fruity flavor throughout the porridge as it simmers. Salt balances the flavors and enhances sweetness.
The cooking method involves bringing the mixture to a boil, then simmering it covered while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The result is a thick but creamy porridge with a slightly chewy texture characteristic of teff, softened by the cooked bananas.
Serving the porridge topped with crushed or sliced almonds adds a nutty crunch, and a drizzle of maple syrup can provide extra sweetness if desired. This combination makes for a warm, comforting, and textured breakfast option that incorporates whole grains, fruit, and nuts in one bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 cup teff whole grain
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 ½ cups almond milk Almond Breeze, unsweetened vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin unrefined coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 banana sliced (save a few slices for topping)
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ cup almonds crushed or sliced
- maple syrup optional for drizzling on top
Instructions
- Bring a heavy saucepan to medium heat. Add teff, water, almond milk, coconut oil, cinnamon, banana slices and sea salt to the pan. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat to medium-low, cover and cook at a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Make sure you give the mixture a stir from time to time to prevent the teff from sticking. If the mixture gets too thick, you can add more water or almond milk but I didn’t need any extra.
- Once the teff has cooked and the texture is to your liking, portion into bowls. Top each bowl with a sprinkle of almonds, extra banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
