Amaranth Pudding with Hazelnuts and Berries
Try this amaranth pudding with hazelnuts and berries for a filling, nutritious breakfast! It’s packed with protein and all the essential amino acids plus it’s dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan!
Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week. It was a fast one for me as I prepared for a meeting with my PhD committee members. That’s all done now and I am ready to jump into the weekend!! What are you doing this weekend? I have a friend visiting that I am very excited to meet…for the first time!!
We started the week with a delicious breakfast smoothie, this very berry coconut smoothie, and it is only fitting we end it with another healthy nutritious breakfast recipe. This amaranth pudding with hazelnuts and berries is a grain-tastic breakfast that is flavorful and filling.
But let’s back up for a minute. Are you familiar with amaranth grain? I was not. It is one of the whole grains from Bob’s Red Mill that I recently discovered and it is quickly becoming a favorite. It’s an ancient grain that is high in protein and contains all the essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber and a powerhouse of a grain that is perfect for gluten-free and vegan diets.
I made this easy pudding with some almond milk but feel free to use coconut milk for added flavor and I summer-ized it with some fresh berries. I am sharing the recipe over at The Sweet {Tooth} Life today. My good friend Mary Frances (who you’ve met here) is away at camp and I am taking over her blog for the day!
Go check out the recipe HERE!!
Have a great weekend 🙂

I would love to try this recipe, but the link does not currently work.
I tried amaranth once and thought it tasted kind of like dirt. But yours looks amazing and I really want to like amaranth, so I’m heading over for the recipe to try it out.
More committee meetings? Fun fun 😉 we really need to have a chat sometime soon about our PhD experiences because I feel like we’re a rare breed in this corner of the blogosphere! Also, I am getting to be a granny because I think I love more mushy/pudding-like foods now than I ever did before….there’s seriously something wrong with this regression, but I really can’t help it. YUM!
Ala I know!! We need to compare notes soon. I shall email you soon. I had a committee meeting last Friday and it is postulated that I may finish in May next year although one member in the group thinks it’s impossible. But we meet in 6 months to reassess. The joys of having your life in the hands of 4 PhD members.
Amaranth is very common here! We get lots of sweet stuff with amaranth that is especially eaten during festivals! Massive laddoos {sweet fudgy balls} and chikkis {pralines} made of amaranth are very popular here and very tasty!!! I never knew amaranth could be used to make a pudding!!!! This is sooooo amazing I need to try it stat!!!!!!!!
I had no idea Samina!! Do you have recipes on your blog using it? I will have to check your recipe index. So nice to learn something new each day!!
I’ve never tried amaranth before! What an awesome twist on the traditional grains for breakfast. The berries and nuts … mmmm delicious! Thank you Zainab – you are the best!
