Loaded Amaranth Breakfast Bowl

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • 3 tsp coconut oil, divided
  • 1⁄2 cup amaranth
  • 1 1⁄2 cups water
  • 1⁄2 cup corn
  • 1⁄4 tsp cumin
  • 1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1⁄2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 long carrot, sliced
  • 1⁄2 avocado
  • 1⁄4 onion, chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1⁄4 lemon, juiced
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash pepper
  • 1 cup raspberries

Directions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
  • Add the amaranth and water to the skillet, followed by the corn, cumin, garlic powder, chopped cilantro, radishes, onion, tomato, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the amaranth is cooked through.
  • Once the vegetables are tender, create a small well in the center of the skillet and add the remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Crack the eggs into the well, cooking them to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up, fried, or poached).
  • Divide half of the amaranth-vegetable mixture into two bowls. Top each with one egg and a generous serving of avocado.
  • Serve with 1 cup of fresh raspberries on the side for a refreshing, sweet contrast.

Notes

Leftovers: Save half of the mixture for breakfast the next day. Eggs: You can also scramble or poach the eggs. Add more veggies: Add zucchini slices, radish slices, or bell pepper.
