Description
Topped with juicy roasted blueberries and slivered almonds, this einkorn porridge is a breakfast worth getting out of bed for.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Porridge:
- ½ cup einkorn berries
- 1 ¼ cups water or milk
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1–2 tablespoons slivered almonds
- Additional maple syrup or milk for topping (optional)
For the Roasted Berries:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed (or frozen)
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- ⅛–¼ teaspoon ground cardamom, to taste
Instructions
- Pulse einkorn 3-5 times in a high speed blender or food processor to crack them into smaller pieces. They should resemble steel cut oats.
- Place einkorn in a medium pot over high heat and toast for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 ¼ cups water or milk and salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. If the liquid has been absorbed but the einkorn is still too firm, add 1/4-1/2 cup more water or milk.
- While porridge is cooking, preheat oven to 400oF.
- Toss blueberries in maple syrup and cardamom. Place in a baking pan and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until berries have released their juices.
- Divide cooked porridge into two bowls and top with roasted blueberries, slivered almonds, and extra maple syrup or milk if desired.
