A delicious, healthy, whole grain breakfast porridge that’s gluten-free and vegan. This Caramel Almond Sorghum Porridge will put your typical oatmeal to shame!
It’s breakfast time! (It should always be breakfast time…) I really have considered trashing it all and starting over as a sole breakfast blogger. Pancakes and quinoa flakes for days! But then I would miss sharing recipes like this and this.
Don’t worry, I have no plans on actually following through on that dream, but still…I just love all foods too much to ever do that! Breakfast foods, however, they will always reign supreme! You know I’m always for sweet breakfasts, although I have made quick forays into some savory dishes.
When I wake-up, I just NEED sweetness and carbs. A typical week of breakfasts for me is: 2 days of cereal (big bowls!), 2 days of hot cereal (quinoa flakes/oatmeal/buckwheat cereal), 1 day will be whatever baked good I made that week, and then weekends are reserved solely for pancakes (once in awhile waffles). So this lovely little porridge I’m sharing with you today would fit in the “hot cereal” category!
This one is a little fancier and takes a wee bit longer than 90 seconds. O, but my friends, it’s worth it! We are talking whole grain sorghum cooked in Silk® Nutchello™ Almond Caramel Cashew milk! Then topped with a homemade vegan caramel sauce and some slivered almonds for the “pretty” garnish (and crunch)! This is the third and final Nutchello™ recipe I have to share (for now…) and this dairy-free almond + caramel + cashew flavor is the bomb!
It’s so perfectly sweet and decadent, making it the perfect dairy-free milk to cook my sorghum in! The sorghum just soaks up all that glorious flavor and becomes so creamy in the pot. Then by drizzling on my little make-shift vegan caramel and pouring some more of the Nutchello™ to the hot bowl of grains…breakfast ecstasy is achieved! It checks all my breakfast boxes: sweet, carbs, and uh…delicious! Plus, anything in a bowl wins, right?
Interested in my caramel? There shall be no dates in MY caramel sauces. (Never!) Instead, just a mix of 2 things: almond butter (you could use cashew, or even tahini, too!) and maple syrup! Perfect little caramel drizzle for this bowl of breakfast porridge! Caramel always sounds so decadent, but it’s not overly sweet, but deep in flavor. Kind of like tahini in the sense of deep, indescribable flavor!

So a recipe for 2? Who will you be sharing this lovely almond caramel sorghum porridge with? (#myself). You could eat this totally cold too, by cooking the sorghum beforehand, leaving in the fridge and then just topping your bowl with all the goodies the next day! The “new” overnight oats, perhaps?
So tell me:
+ Do you eat the same breakfast every day or do you have a rotation like me?
+ What do you CRAVE when you wake-up?

I could totally get into this for breakfast. It kind of looks like Israeli Couscous, which I’m in love with.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Ah, well this is safe and gluten-free!
Melissa @ My Darla Clementine
Yum, or maybe I should make this for breakfast tomorrow!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I think so!
kimmythevegan
Huh. I have heard of sorghum flour, but never stopped to think where it came from. I love that you just introduced me to yet another awesome breakfast grain =D
This sounds dee-licious! Especially with the fancy nutmilk!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Better stock up on sorghum!
Brittany @ The Pistachio Project

Okay Rebecca, you have to fill me in on sorghum. I’ve only ever had sorghum in gluten free beers. And they are horrible. Absolutely undrinkable. The sorghum taste is so strong that I can’t get past it. So I have avoided it. But knowing what a great palette you have I have to believe that this is yummy. And it looks so delish!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
And this is why you should read the archives of blogs 😉 All about sorghum.
Laura Dembowski
I keep wanting to try sorghum but I never quite know what to do with it. Now I can put that bag in my pantry to work. Love your non date caramel too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Ah yes!! I love sorghum flour, but whole grain sorghum is such a wonderful grain to eat as is too!
Elle @ Only Taste Matters
What a delicious way to start the day! Yum!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
For sure!
Amanda
I love this. It makes it so easy when you can use a product like the nutchella.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
All the flavor you need, in a bottle!
Kaila (GF Life 24/7)
What a great way to begin your day! I love this recipe, it looks hearty enough, but absolutely scrumptious at the same time.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
It’s a power breakfast!
Debbie
I must find this Nutchello! Today if possible. I’m usually a boring breakfast eater, but this looks delicious.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes! Nutchello can help you out with that!
Miz Helen

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

Just like your morning oats!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt
I love the unique flavors in this! I’ve never made sorghum, so it looks so interesting to me. I do breakfast rotations too and weekends get pancakes one day and eggs the other.

O, bring on the sorghum then! It is a lovely whole grain to add to your diet!

That looks wonderful!

Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite

Helky Kitners

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you! I know it will be a hit!
Tara | Treble in the Kitchen
I also crave sweet in the morning. I occasionally try to switch things up with eggs, but almost always have to have fruit with it to give it a little sweet!! Also, I totally need to try sorghum!! Looks so good!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I always have a big side of fruit…along with the sweet 😉
I know you love millet so I know you’ll love sorghum!

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes, thank you Allie!
Mel @ avirtualvegan.com
This porridge looks incredible and the 30 minutes cooking time doesn’t bother me at all. There is always something to do in the mornings while you wait…showering, making beds, laundry….working on the blog… (that always wins!). Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and my routine sounds a lot like yours. I have never cooked sorghum as a porridge and have a bag put away for a recipe I am planning to work on. I am going to try it as porridge! Unfortunately I can’t buy Nutchello here yet but I am sure I can come up with something delicious regardless. Thanks for the inspiration :O)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Hahaha! I have to prep this before hand! I workout and then eat breakfast so I am starving!!! (And then I blog while I eat….o the morning blogging) 😛
O yes! Make some porridge when the sorghum and you could totally use any wonderful nut-milk. Someone said on my FB post yesterday to just blend some almond or cashew milk with some dates or what not!
Wendy
This looks incredible. I usually crave salads when I wake up which is totally weird. I need to try Sorghum – it looks like a great way to add variety to my diet.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, maybe you should make a sorghum salad 😉
Evi @ greenevi
I used to hate sorghum but I love it so much nowadays! This porridge looks incredible delicious too. Yum!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, I love sorghum! Such a beautiful flour to bake with and a yummy grain!
Megan @ MegUnprocessed
This is the perfect healthy breakfast!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!
Lauren Gaskill
I’m so making this for breakfast tomorrow! Love the flavors!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thanks Lauren! Enjoy!
Liz
Any breakfast involving apples and caramel is A-OK by me! And healthy to boot? Loving this!!!

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, enjoy!
Mandy
You had me at caramel!!! Yummmm!! And I love how simple your caramel recipe is 🙂 I joke all the time with my hubby that if we could have more meals in a day, they would consist of breakfast foods! This looks wonderful and such a great way to change up the breakfast routine ❤️
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
If I were president….I would push a law through that made is essential to have breakfast at least 3 times a day (i.e. all major meals)…minimum 😉
Mandy
I would totally vote for you ????????
Kristy from Southern In Law
Why have I never eaten sorghum like this?!?! I am off to add some to my iHerb shopping cart! 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Fantastic!
Lisa @ Panning The Globe
I agree with you about how fun it would be to blog about breakfast all the time! This is such an interesting, scrumptious looking/sounding recipe. I’ve never cooked with sorghum. I think it’s time! Thanks Rebecca!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, right?
O, yes, yes! You must give it a try! A delicious way to change your grains up!
Nadia
I agree with you – it should always be breakfast time!! I don’t even know why I bother with lunch and dinner, just eat breakfast again! 😀 especially when it looks like this and has the word ‘caramel’ in the title!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Hahaha, my exact thoughts 😉 Breakfast 24/7!!!
Kelly
This definitely puts my oatmeal, or any breakfast I’ve ever eaten for that matter, to shame! Looks wonderful!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, well now we can fix that!
Kelly @ Eat the Gains
I have never tried sorghum, but it is definitely on my list now! I have been doing more savory breakfasts lately, but love a sweet one here and there!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You’ve always got to go sweet!
Lauren
Anything with caramel and I’m IN!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Totally!

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday
I used to eat the same thing EVERY DAY. For years. I’ve only switched in the last 3-ish months, and now I don’t want to go back. There are so many options! I’ve been going between various egg dishes, pancakes, and smoothie bowls lately. This looks great – caramel anything has me intrigued!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
There was that long time in my life where it was cereal EVERYDAY!
Diana Johnson
This looks delicious!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!

I’ve never had sorghum for breakfast other than in a muffin.Pinning for later to try this!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Time to change that!
Jenn
Breakfast is my favorite too! This looks sooo good! I just picked up some Nutchello the other day, but ti’s a different flavor. I’ll have to be on the lookout for this one too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, well I have your bases covered for all the flavors!
Vicky
I’m not a breakfast person but I can see me eating this as a pud! I’ve never seen pearled sorghum or the Nutchello, I don’t think we can buy them in the UK. It looks heavenly!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You can buy sorghum! Haha!
Shashi @ RunninSrilankan
Haha – yup – I’m a huge fan of beakfast foods too – and I usually eat the sme thing day in and day out – except for the weekend, but I do go through phases, like oatmeal for days and days and yougurt and granola for dys and days – wierd eh?!
But, I digress, coming back to this porridge, Rebecca, love your use of Nutchello in this – so totally yum!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, no, phases happen sometimes too! Certain combos of this and that I fall in love with and do over and over!
Thank you, thank you <3
Kathryn @ Family Food on the Table
I could totally blog – and eat – breakfasty things all day every day too 🙂 And I’m all about a big ole breakfast bowl – especially one as warm, comforting and flavorful as this! That caramel? And an almond crunch? Yes please!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, yes! Breakfast just makes me so happy! I could talk breakfast all day!!
