Millet Porridge with Maple Syrup
A comforting, nutty alternative to traditional morning oats
Why This Recipe Works
Millet provides a unique, slightly nutty texture that makes for a deeply satisfying morning meal. This porridge comes together quickly and works best when the grains are simmered until just tender before being finished with milk.
Instructions
Combine the water, millet, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer until the grains are tender and the water is mostly absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir in the milk and maple syrup. Continue to cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge reaches a creamy consistency and is hot throughout.
Serve warm, topped with an additional drizzle of syrup for those who prefer a sweeter start.
