How to Make Amaranth Breakfast Fruit Bowl Elimination Diet

  1. **Cook the Amaranth:** Rinse 1 cup of amaranth grains under cold water. Combine the rinsed amaranth with 2 cups of water in a 2-quart pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  4. **Assemble the Fruit Bowl:** Spoon 1/2 cup of cooked amaranth into a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Add 1 cup of frozen mixed berries (Costco's 3-berry mix recommended).
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon to taste.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of chilled rice milk (or your preferred non-dairy, non-soy milk) over the top.
  9. Stir gently and enjoy your warm and delicious Amaranth Breakfast Fruit Bowl!
  10. Adjust the amount of amaranth, berries, maple syrup, and milk to your preference.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
