Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup fresh berries or sliced fruit
Instructions
Rinse the millet under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any impurities and excess starch, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let the millet simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed.
Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon to the millet. Stir to combine and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes until the millet becomes tender and creamy in consistency.
Stir in the maple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to taste as desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the porridge sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve the millet porridge into bowls, and top with your choice of fresh berries or sliced fruit.
Enjoy your nut-free creamy millet porridge warm, as a delightful start to your day.
