Such a comforting and delicious breakfast made with three types of nutritious whole grains. It's a very hearty and filling, it has a soft yet chewy texture, and whole grain nutty flavor.

Add milk and cinnamon and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes longer while thinning with more milk as desired.
Stir in maple syrup, add desired toppings. Serve warm.
Notes
If you don't have a sieve fine enough to rinse the amaranth you can skip this step. I buy amaranth here.
Good toppings include chopped nuts, dried fruit like raisins or dried cranberries, fresh berries, bananas, peaches, mangos, apples, coconut, nut butters, fruit curds, jams or syrups.
