  • 1 teaspoon of Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon of Agave or other compliant sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon (more or less according to personal taste) of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Ginger Powder, and/or other favorite spices


How to make it:
  • Heat a large, deep, heavy soup pot on high for a few minutes until extremely hot.
  • Add the Amaranth Seed and cover with a lid.
  • The seed will start to pop.
  • Monitor closely so that the seeds do not burn.
  • Turn off heat and remove from heat.
  • Remove lid to let the steam escape.
  • Pour the seed into a bowl.
  • To the bowl, add the compliant sweetener, Cocoa Powder, and spices, BT compliant.
  • Mix well with a spoon.
  • If you eat it immediately, it is a warm, sticky, crunchy treat that you can eat with a spoon.
  • It also can be formed into balls to be served later as a finger-food treat.
  • If you let the mixture cool, then you have to break it up with a spoon.
  • You could then add a compliant milk and serve it as a breakfast cereal.
  • Or just eat it with a spoon for a tasty, crunchy treat.
  • A variation to this recipe would be to add a little melted ghee and some chopped nuts and dates, and you would have a nice mixture for some crunchy date nut balls.
  • Enjoy!
