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!
Almond Caramel Sorghum Porridge
- 1½ Cups Silk® Nutchello™ Almond Caramel Cashew
- ½ Cup Pearled Sorghum
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- Caramel:
- 2 TB Almond Butter
- 2 TB Pure Maple Syrup
- To Top:
- 2 TB Sliced Almonds
- ½ Cup Silk® Nutchello™ Almond Caramel Cashew
- Bring the Nutchello to a boil on the stove, add in the sorghum and cinnamon, then cook covered, on low for about 30 minutes or until the sorghum has absorbed all the liquid.
- In the meantime, mix together the almond butter and maple syrup to create the caramel.
- When the sorghum is done, divide into 2 bowls. Top each bowl with half the caramel mixture, 1 tablespoon of the slivered almonds, and ¼ cup of the Nutchello.
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.
Ah, well this is safe and gluten-free!
Yum, or maybe I should make this for breakfast tomorrow!!
I think so!
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!

Better stock up on sorghum!
This looks amazing! Anything with caramel is a winner in my book!!!
Brittany @ The Pistachio Project recently posted…Simply Natural Saturdays: 6/25/16

I could happily eat this for breakfast every day 🙂

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!
Nikki Frank-Hamilton recently posted…Social Media Blast – All a Twitter!
And this is why you should read the archives of blogs 😉 All about sorghum.
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!
Laura Dembowski recently posted…Yeasted Waffles with Peach Syrup #SundaySupper
Ah yes!! I love sorghum flour, but whole grain sorghum is such a wonderful grain to eat as is too!
What a delicious way to start the day! Yum!
For sure!
I love this. It makes it so easy when you can use a product like the nutchella.
Amanda recently posted…Love with Food Gluten Free Subscription June Box 2016
All the flavor you need, in a bottle!
What a great way to begin your day! I love this recipe, it looks hearty enough, but absolutely scrumptious at the same time.
It’s a power breakfast!
I must find this Nutchello! Today if possible. I’m usually a boring breakfast eater, but this looks delicious.
Debbie recently posted…The Friday Wrap Up: Popsugar Must Have Box and Chana Masala
Yes! Nutchello can help you out with that!
What a great breakfast, I can’t wait to try this recipe.

I stink at making breakfast. This would be something I could get behind though!

Haha, well I hope this does inspire some good eats! Breakfast deserves to be amazing!
This looks like such a delicious breakfast! I still need to try sorghum as a breakfast food.
It is delicious!
I really love using Silk Almond Milk! This porridge looks really delicious and loving that caramel porridge!
All Silk’s milks are the best!
I’ve never tried porridge before but this looks delicious!
Just like your morning oats!
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.
Julie @ Running in a Skirt recently posted…Fashion Friday- Cold Shoulder Lavender Dress
O, bring on the sorghum then! It is a lovely whole grain to add to your diet!
That looks wonderful!
Thank you!
WOW, this looks sooo good, I could eat this almond porridge till the rest of my life for breakfast 😀

I’ll never let you down there!
I’ve never tried sorghum before, but this recipe looks totally delightful. I’ve been so bored with my typical cereal and oatmeal, so this give me an option to spice things up. YUMMY! Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to try this. Oh and I LOVE your food photography. Nice work on the picutres! 🙂
Any nice whole grain like this is the perfect sub for a hot cereal! Sorghum is so underused!!
And thank you so much Nicole <3
Love the idea of the pearled sorghum! Such a fun twist. And almond caramel?? YES. PLEASE. That Nutchello is just so useful!! Delicious way to use it!

Healthy, fun, and sweet! Just like breakfast should be 😉
It looks delicious! I have to try it for my family
Thank you! I know it will be a hit!
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!
Tara | Treble in the Kitchen recently posted…Red and Blue Berry Thyme Zucchini Cornbread + Casual Veggie Cookbook!
I always have a big side of fruit…along with the sweet 😉
I know you love millet so I know you’ll love sorghum!
This looks amazing! Definitely going to try it sometime
Thank you!
This looks so interesting! I have never tried sorghum, but now it is on my list to try!

It’s a wonderful whole grain to add!
This porridge looks just delicious. I love almond and the idea of putting caramel with it! Pinned!
The perfect combo to start the day 😉 Thank you!
This looks super yummy and your pictures are gorgeous, by the way!
Thank you so much Kayla!
this look amazing my friend! i’ll def have to try it out sometime!
I hope you do! Thank you!
What a lovely way to start the day! I need to eat more breakfasts like this- so healthy, hearty, and delish!
Yes, thank you Allie!
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)
Mel @ avirtualvegan.com recently posted…Vegan Blueberry Bran Muffins
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!
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.
Haha, maybe you should make a sorghum salad 😉
I used to hate sorghum but I love it so much nowadays! This porridge looks incredible delicious too. Yum!
Evi @ greenevi recently posted…Simple Red Lentil Spread
Haha, I love sorghum! Such a beautiful flour to bake with and a yummy grain!

Any breakfast involving apples and caramel is A-OK by me! And healthy to boot? Loving this!!!

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 ❤️

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 😉

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!
Lisa @ Panning The Globe recently posted…SMOKED SALMON TARTARE
Haha, right?
O, yes, yes! You must give it a try! A delicious way to change your grains up!
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!!
Hahaha, my exact thoughts 😉 Breakfast 24/7!!!
This definitely puts my oatmeal, or any breakfast I’ve ever eaten for that matter, to shame! Looks wonderful!
Kelly recently posted…Gluten Free and Vegan Summer Salads
Haha, well now we can fix that!
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!

This porridge looks amazing, Rebecca! And I love that you used sorghum – such an underrated but delicious grain! 😀
O I totally agree! But it is so yummy!
Oh my, this looks soooo good!
Thank you!
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!

I’ve never had sorghum for breakfast other than in a muffin.Pinning for later to try this!

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!
Jenn recently posted…Cucumber Bites with Sun Dried Tomato Spread
Haha, well I have your bases covered for all the flavors!
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!
You can buy sorghum! Haha!
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!
Shashi @ RunninSrilankan recently posted…Strawberry & Banana Chia Pudding Parfait
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
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!
