Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Fresh fruits for topping
Instructions
- Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold running water using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any dust or debris, ensuring a clean base for your porridge.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet with water and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, allowing the millet to simmer for approximately 10-12 minutes until the water is mostly absorbed.
- Pour in the coconut milk, stirring gently to incorporate and create a creamy texture. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup, mixing until well combined and creating a smooth, fragrant porridge.
- Let the porridge rest for 2-3 minutes to thicken and achieve the desired creamy consistency.
- Divide the porridge between two serving bowls and garnish with fresh seasonal fruits like sliced strawberries, banana, or blueberries.
- Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, creamy vanilla millet porridge immediately.
Tips
- Always rinse your millet thoroughly to remove any bitter coating and ensure a clean, pure flavor.
- Use a tight-fitting lid when simmering to trap steam and achieve the perfect creamy texture.
- For extra richness, you can substitute part of the water with additional coconut milk.
- Experiment with different toppings like toasted nuts, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add variety.
- If the porridge becomes too thick, simply stir in a little extra coconut milk or warm water to reach your desired consistency.
- For meal prep, this porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and quickly reheated with a splash of milk.
