Description
A warm and creamy millet porridge topped with vibrant berries for a wholesome breakfast experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup millet, rinsed
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ½ cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans; optional)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, 2 ½ cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil on medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the millet doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- After 15 minutes, add in the milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Stir well to combine all the flavors, cover again, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes until the millet turns creamy and tender.
- Remove from heat and fold in the maple syrup or honey until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture into cozy bowls and top generously with mixed berries, nuts, and seeds if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the millet the night before and store it in the fridge. To serve, reheat with a splash of milk.
