Teff Porridge with Seeds (V, GF)
This vegan teff porridge with seeds is creamy and delicious, with an earthy taste and many nutrients that your body needs. It's especially high in iron. Naturally gluten-free teff grain is cooked in cashew milk, sweetened with maple syrup, and topped with different seeds. You can also drizzle tahini or sunflower seed butter on top instead of using seeds.
Ingredients
- 100 g teff
- 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) unsweetened cashew milk
- 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) water
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) maple syrup
Toppings:
- a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds
- a sprinkle of sunflower seeds or substitute with a drizzle of sunflower seed butter
- a sprinkle of hemp seeds
- a sprinkle of flax seeds
- a sprinkle of sesame seeds or substitute with a drizzle of tahini
Instructions
- Put teff, cashew milk and water in a large pot. Mix together.
- Cover the pot and heat it over the stove. When it starts boiling, put the heat to low and cook for 20 min. Check it often while it cooks because teff likes to come up the sides of the pot and it needs to be scraped down (this is why it is useful to use a large pot because this way it doesn't spill over). Somewhere after 10 min of cooking it will start to thicken and with that it can stick to the bottom of the pot so you need to watch it and mix several times in between.
- Turn the heat off and add maple syrup. Mix together.
- Pour teff porridge into a bowl.
- Sprinkle seeds on top. If you wish you can substitute sesame seeds with tahini or sunflower seeds with sunflower seed butter. These seed butters add an additional delicious earthy taste that pairs really well with this porridge.
- Serve warm.
Notes
*Don't use homemade cashew milk for this recipe because it will have too grainy taste, always use store bought cashew milk.
*If you wish you can make your own sunflower seed butter at home.
