Ingredients
- 1 cup teff
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- Measure out 1 cup of teff grains and rinse thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any debris.
- Add the rinsed teff to the Instant Pot inner pot, then pour in 4 cups of water and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing position. Select the "Porridge" or "Manual" setting and adjust cooking time to 20 minutes at high pressure.

- Optional: Drizzle maple syrup into the porridge and mix gently for added sweetness.
- Serve hot in individual bowls and top with fresh seasonal fruits like sliced bananas, berries, or diced apples.
- For added nutrition, consider garnishing with chopped nuts, chia seeds, or a dollop of yogurt.
