Millet Porridge:
- 1 cup millet, rinsed and drained
- 3 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Toppings:
- fresh fruit
- chopped nuts
- nut butter
- shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, milk, water, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the millet is soft and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if using. Cook uncovered for 3–5 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge is thick and creamy.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before serving. Spoon into bowls and top with your favorite add-ins.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of cream or coconut milk just before serving.
- Leftovers reheat well with a little added milk.
