Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Masa Harina
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 tbsp dry coconut cream*
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a small to medium pot add all ingredients except for the vanilla extract.
  • Stir over medium high heat until mixture comes to a boil.
  • Turn to medium low heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it reaches the texture you desire. (you want it to thicken up a bit and give a little resistance to the spoon, but you don’t want it to be paste texture) I usually heat mine for 8 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Serve immediately. Atole continues to thicken as it cools.

Notes

We like to enjoy Atole on a cold morning for breakfast with a side a fruit, or as dessert in front of the fireplace. It is both filling and comforting. This recipe is both gluten and dairy free.
*If you do not have dry coconut cream you can use only 3 cups water and 1 cup coconut cream for the same flavor.
