Ingredients

• 1 cup millet
• 2 cups water
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 ripe banana
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any dirt or impurities.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, water, and almond milk. Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the consistency is creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

While the millet is cooking, mash the ripe banana with a fork in a small bowl until nearly smooth.

Step 5

Once the millet is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the mashed banana to naturally sweeten the porridge.

Step 6

Divide the porridge into four bowls. Top each serving with chopped walnuts and fresh blueberries.

Step 7

Serve immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast or refrigerate for up to 3 days for a quick, nutritious option on busy mornings.
