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
- 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
Step 1
Toast walnuts and almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, 4 to 5 minutes. Chop into big pieces and set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Divide the porridge into 6 bowls. Serve topped with equal amounts of toasted nuts, blueberries, 6 tablespoons milk, coconut, and cinnamon.
Cook’s Note:
Use plant-based milk instead of dairy for a vegan alternative.
