Description

This creamy sorghum porridge with walnuts and warming spices is a wholesome, gluten-free breakfast that’s nourishing and easy to make. By cooking the sorghum in a pressure cooker ahead of time, you can turn it into a creamy porridge in just 10 minutes with coconut milk, warming spices, and your preferred sweetener. Unlike oat porridge, sorghum keeps a pleasantly chewy texture, while the ground walnuts add richness and a subtle crunch. Finish each bowl with a drizzle of honey, if desired, for a satisfying breakfast or afternoon treat.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked sorghum (see instructions on how to easily precook sorghum in the post)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1/3 cup coarsely ground walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter of your choice
  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, warming spice mix, or a combination of cinnamon and cardamom
  • Zest of one organic lemon or orange (or both)
  • Sweetener to taste (options include inulin powder, allulose, monk fruit, or honey)
  • A pinch of salt 


Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the precooked sorghum, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the porridge reaches your preferred consistency.
  2. Stir in the ground walnuts, your choice of sweetener, spices, and nut butter. Continue to simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  3. Serve the porridge warm. You can enjoy it as is or with additional toppings of your choice.
