Chai Spiced Amaranth Porridge with Caramelized Bananas

Instructions

1. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Meanwhile, in a small pot, bring amaranth and water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until liquid is mostly absorbed (about 15 minutes). Add the ½ cup of the milk and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, until porridge reaches desired texture. 
3. While the amaranth is cooking, melt coconut oil in the skillet, then fry banana slices for 2-3 minutes on each side. Turn off the heat and let banana slices stay warm on the skillet.
4. When the amaranth porridge reaches the desired texture, stir in maple syrup, vanilla, spices, almond butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons milk. Divide into 2 bowls and top with caramelized banana slices.
