Ingredients
3 cups water1 tablespoon whey (optional)4 tablespoons amaranth grain2 tablespoons oat groats, steel cut4 tablespoons quinoa2 tablespoons millet2 tablespoons flaxseed meal1 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon maple syrupCinnamon, nutmeg, clove to taste, optional
Directions
For this recipe, you can really use any of your favorite whole grains as long as the ratio is 3:1, water to grains. I have chosen my favorite here.

Overnight, soak your grains by placing them in a saucepan and covering them with half the water. If you have homemade whey at home, add that to the water and soak the grains overnight.

In the morning, put the pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add salt and maple syrup to the mixture, as well as the remaining water. If you would rather have a milky cereal, add some raw milk, kefir, or yogurt instead (I have not accounted for the dairy substitution in the nutrition breakdown, though, so you'll have to add that in).

Simmer and stir occasionally until cereal softens and comes together.

You may also add dried apricots, nuts, shredded coconut, etc. This cereal is very versitile, so make it your own! Enjoy!
