thanks for this idea! I am starting to make my own crackers, and this was a great idea. I enjoy amaranth cereal, but I also mix it half and half with millet grain and boil it with 2 cups water. A little maple syrup and rice milk (no raisans allowed here) for breakfast, and I save a bowl for mid afternoon snack. Today I will enjoy that bowl as crackers with a little Italian herbs (dried) mixed in. Licking the spoon after spreading it was delectable!! Thanks again for your website!

This is so exciting that one could make value out of a wild growing plant I have all along enjoyed only as a vegetable!
Iam a post graduate student (public health nutrition, Makerere University, Kampala, UGANDA with with interest in researching for more ways of incorporating grain amaranth in our diet. You have given me a lot of insight in my dreams. Thank you,

Excellent! I made this on a pizza stone, and it dried well. The second successful attempt, I cooked the amaranth with a few thyme sprigs and a clove of crushed garlic. It worked deliciously. I think next time around I’ll make small little circles of it. Hopefully that will dry faster and evenly. Thanks!

This flatbread looks great! I especially like that it uses the whole grain form of the “cereal,” and not the flour. I wonder if this would work with teff grain, since that also gels. Can you eat teff on your current diet? My husband and I have been enjoying Bob Red Mill’s whole grain teff, cooked per his porridge directions, and topped with a scoop of pureed pumpkin, a drizzle each of coconut milk and maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. As you probably know, teff is high in protein and iron.

I hear you can also pop amaranth like popcorn (very tiny popcorn). Since reading your recipe I need to try it now.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe! It’s great to have flour alternatives, and this is so easy. I had some leftover rice that I cooked last night, and I blended it up in the food processor to make it more gelatinous and smoothed it out on parchment paper to go in the oven. It’s just about done now, and it looks awesome.
