Ingredients
Scale
Millet Porridge:
- ½ cup millet (rinsed and drained)
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup water
- Pinch of salt
Sweetening and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Ground cinnamon (for topping, optional)
- Fresh berries, banana slices, or chopped nuts (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, milk, water, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Stir in maple syrup (or honey), butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Simmer uncovered for another 2–3 minutes, stirring until fully incorporated and creamy.
- Remove from heat and let sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly. Spoon into bowls and top with cinnamon, fruit, or nuts as desired. Serve warm.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the millet is tender and the mixture is creamy. Add a splash of extra milk if it gets too thick.
Notes
- You can make this ahead and reheat with a splash of milk for busy mornings.
- Adjust sweetness to taste and add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg for extra warmth.
