Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup millet flour
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon stevia or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries for topping
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the millet flour, unsweetened almond milk, and water. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent the flour from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the stevia or sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and salt to the porridge. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes until the porridge reaches your desired thickness. You can add more almond milk or water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Taste and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if necessary.
Divide the creamy millet porridge into serving bowls.
Top the porridge with chopped nuts (if using) and fresh berries.
Serve warm and enjoy a nutritious low-carb breakfast!
