Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any dirt or impurities.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, water, and almond milk. Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the consistency is creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the millet is cooking, mash the ripe banana with a fork in a small bowl until nearly smooth.
Once the millet is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the mashed banana to naturally sweeten the porridge.
Divide the porridge into four bowls. Top each serving with chopped walnuts and fresh blueberries.
Serve immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast or refrigerate for up to 3 days for a quick, nutritious option on busy mornings.
