Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water to remove any residuals. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the water is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon into the millet. Increase the heat to medium and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the millet is tender and creamy.
Once the porridge has reached a creamy consistency, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Spoon the porridge into bowls and top with freshly washed blueberries and chopped almonds for a delightful crunch.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve warm. Enjoy your comforting low-sodium treat!
