Ingredients

• 1 cup Masa harina
• 2 cups Water
• 3 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any unsweetened milk alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered monk fruit sweetener (or any sugar-free alternative)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina and 2 cups of water until smooth and free of lumps. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 2-3 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.

Step 3

Add the masa harina mixture to the saucepan while stirring constantly to prevent clumps from forming.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. The consistency should be smooth and slightly thick, similar to a light pudding.

Step 5

Stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Let the atole cook for another 3-5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan.

Step 7

Once done, taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon as needed. If the atole is too thick, add a splash of unsweetened almond milk to thin it out to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Serve hot in mugs and enjoy this naturally sweetened, traditional Mexican beverage!
