Fonio Coconut Porridge, with Video

Hello There!

After many savory recipes, it was only right I wrote a sweet one.
Today’s recipe is Coconut Fonio Porridge!

The perfect breakfast or brunch recipe: this porridge is not only tasty but extremely nutrient-rich and gluten-free.

Fonio

Not many are, unfortunately, familiar with this African “super grain”.
This gluten-free grain is mostly found in Western Africa and Cameroon under the name of Fonio, Petit Mil or Acha.
As previously stated, it’s rich in nutrients: it helps with diabetes management, it is a so-called “energy food” as it contains a high percentage of fiber, which helps preventing digestive problems, and iron, which is great if you, like me, are anemic.

Porridge

What I like most about porridge is its versatility: you can virtually anything from your pantry and it will taste good lol
I decided to use coconut milk, for the texture and coconut flakes as well as chestnut for the topping.

Feel free to add fresh and/or dried fruit if you wish, but also honey or agave syrup for extra sweetness.
