How to Make Millet Porridge

  1. Rinse 1/2 cup millet under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup raisins.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the millet is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. If the porridge is too thick, add a splash more water or milk until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey (to taste).
  7. Serve warm and enjoy! Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
