Ingredients
- 1 cup millet flour
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup almond milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Gradually whisk in the 1 cup of millet flour to the boiling water to prevent lumps.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the almond milk, stirring constantly to combine.
Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue to whisk for about 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.
Remove from heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup until well combined.
Serve the Cream of Millet warm, topping with optional chopped nuts and fresh berries for extra flavor and texture.
