Millet Maple Porridge

Millet is a healthy whole grain that is naturally gluten-free and a good source of protein and dietary fiber. It has a mild nutty flavor, cooks in about 30 minutes and is a unique breakfast option. When cooking millet as a breakfast cereal, the ratio of liquid to grain is higher as this hearty grain expands when cooked. I used two cups of liquid, a combination of almond milk and water, to a 1/2 cup of the millet. Quinoa, amaranth and bulger have different flavors but are good alternatives. Serve a big pot of this millet porridge for breakfast with a bowl of fresh berries, toasted almond slivers, raisins or currants and your favorite milk.

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the millet, milk and water. Add in the maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and currants. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the porridge for about 25 minutes or until almost all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat. Serve with toppings of your choice and milk.
