Recipe Summary Fonio Breakfast Porridge

Fonio grain is cooked with dried fruits and nuts then topped with coconut and cinnamon for a wholesome breakfast porridge. Earthy-flavored fonio is full of nutrition, which makes it a perfect choice for a gluten- and oat-free breakfast.

Ingredients | Fonio Planta

¼ cup walnuts

¼ cup almonds

2 cups water

1 cup fonio grains

4 dates, pitted and chopped

1 cup milk

½ cup raisins

½ cup dried cranberries

½ cup fresh blueberries

6 tablespoons milk

6 tablespoons shredded coconut

6 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Toast walnuts and almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, 4 to 5 minutes. Chop into big pieces and set aside.

Pour water and fonio into a medium saucepan. Stir to eliminate any lumps. Add dates. Bring to a low boil, stirring often while crushing the date pieces. Reduce heat to a simmer when dates begin to dissolve. Add 1 cup milk, raisins, and cranberries. Continue to simmer, stirring often, until fonio absorbs all the liquid, about 8 minutes.

Divide the porridge into 6 bowls. Serve topped with equal amounts of toasted nuts, blueberries, 6 tablespoons milk, coconut, and cinnamon.

Use plant-based milk instead of dairy for a vegan alternative.
