Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal (fine)
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups almond milk (divided)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/3-1/2 cup pure cane sugar (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Suggested Fruits
• Mango slices
• Banana slices

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix cornmeal in a medium bowl with one cup of almond milk and water until smooth.

2. 2

   Bring the remaining almond milk, coconut milk, and salt to a boil in a pot on medium-high heat. (Make sure you are watching the pot so the liquid doesn't boil over the sides, use a large pot)

3. 3

   Add cornmeal mixture and stir continuously using a whisk. While the porridge thickens, it is important to continue mixing to prevent lumps from forming.

   Reduce heat and cover pot and allow porridge to simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

   Add sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon and allow cornmeal porridge to cook for 5 more minutes. Stirring occasionally.
