Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
Rinse the millet under running water using a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This step removes any natural bitterness from the grain.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed millet to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the millet simmer for about 15 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, salt, and ground cinnamon into the saucepan with the millet.
Continue to cook the millet mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, for an additional 10 minutes or until the porridge reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken further.
Serve the creamy millet porridge into bowls and top with fresh berries and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your warm and nourishing dairy-free millet porridge!
