When baking, amaranth flour can be used on its own or blended with other flours. It can also be cooked as a porridge, similar to oatmeal, by simmering it with water or milk until tender. For thickening, whisk it into liquids before heating to prevent lumps. Its earthy flavor complements a variety of ingredients.
