Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any impurities.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet and 3 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, until the water is absorbed and the millet is tender.
While the millet is cooking, mash the ripe banana in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the millet is cooked, add the almond milk, coconut cream, mashed banana, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan.
Stir everything together and continue to cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
Serve the millet porridge in bowls, topped with fresh berries and chopped nuts if desired.
Enjoy your Whole30 Creamy Millet Porridge warm.
