Ingredients

Instructions

  • First, wash and rinse your millet a couple of times using a sieve to get rid of any hulls that later can cause a bitter after-taste.
  • For creamy millet porridge, dry up your millet in a towel and grind it in a food processor or in the chopping bowl of a hand blender. See the video for more visuals. 
  • Take a saucepan and add millet and all liquid ingredients. Bring it to a boil and cook them over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. It will take approximately 15 minutes.
  • Then reduce it to low heat and add blueberries and cane sugar. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until creamy.  
  • The millet porridge is ready now. Add your favorite topping. Mine are: lots of additional blueberries, chia seeds, and sliced almond. Yum! Enjoy!

Notes

Tips for millet
  • You don't need to grind them. If you prefer to have a whole grain millet breakfast, then after washing and rinsing continue with the recipe as described.
Tips for blueberries
  • I used frozen blueberries, but this porridge is - of course - even better with fresh ones. You don't need to thaw the frozen blueberries as the millet porridge is hot enough to deal with them right out of the freezer.
Millet water ratio
  • The golden ratio (according to my opinion) is by using 1 cup of millet and 4 cups of liquid. For the best creamy texture use 4 cups of milk, but we rather recommend 2 cups of water and 2 cups of milk in combination. You can substitute 1 cup of milk for heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream for a richer result.
