Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Hulled Millet
- 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Berries (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the hulled millet thoroughly under cold water in a fine mesh sieve to remove excess starch and potential bitterness.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet with 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the millet, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the millet is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
As the millet cooks, add 0.5 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of granulated erythritol, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the saucepan and stir well to incorporate.
Once cooked, fold in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and allow the porridge to sit for an additional 5 minutes. This will thicken the mixture and add nutritional benefits from the chia seeds.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 0.25 teaspoon of salt, adjusting the seasoning to your taste. The butter will add a rich texture and enhance the flavor.
Divide the porridge into serving bowls. For additional flavor and texture, top with 0.5 cup of berries and 0.25 cup of chopped nuts if desired.
Serve the keto creamy millet porridge warm and enjoy this delicious and guilt-free breakfast option.
