Description
A delicious and nutritious breakfast porridge made with millet, apples, and cinnamon, perfect for starting your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup millet
- 4 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- Fresh apple slices and additional cinnamon for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the millet under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any dust or debris.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet and water or milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the millet cooks, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.
- Once the millet is cooked, remove it from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the cooked apples, maple syrup or honey (if using), nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries.
- Serve warm, topped with fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, substitute half of the water or milk with coconut milk.
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
