Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 1 large, mashed banana
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh sieve.
In a medium saucepan, combine the 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 about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
Add the coconut milk, mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan with the cooked millet.
Stir well and cook over low heat for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge is thick and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the porridge to cool slightly, as it will thicken further while cooling.
Serve the porridge warm, topped with fresh berries and chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
