Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup fresh berries or sliced fruit
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the millet under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any impurities and excess starch, then drain well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let the millet simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed.
Step 4
Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon to the millet. Stir to combine and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes until the millet becomes tender and creamy in consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the maple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to taste as desired.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the porridge sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Serve the millet porridge into bowls, and top with your choice of fresh berries or sliced fruit.
Step 8
Enjoy your nut-free creamy millet porridge warm, as a delightful start to your day.
