INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  1. Rinse 1 cup millet under cold water to remove any dust or bitterness.
  2. Add the millet, milk or water, and salt to a pot.
  3. Bring everything to a boil, then simmer until the millet breaks down into a soft, creamy texture (about 20-30 minutes).
  4. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Top with cinnamon, sweetener of choice, fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and a splash of non-dairy milk for extra creaminess. You can also add a spoonful of nut butter for richness or a dash of vanilla extract for warmth.
  6. Enjoy!
