Ghanaian Millet Porridge (Dairy-Free)
A hearty and wholesome Ghanaian breakfast porridge made from millet flour and dairy-free milk. A naturally sweet and comforting start to the day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Millet Flour
- 3 cups Dairy-Free Milk (Coconut or Almond)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2-3 tablespoons Sugar or Honey
- 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, whisk together the 1/2 cup millet flour, 3 cups dairy-free milk, and 1 cup water until there are no lumps.
- 2Place the pot over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent the millet flour from sticking to the bottom and forming lumps. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- 3Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low. Let the porridge simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick and to help it thicken.
- 4The porridge is ready when it has thickened to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon. You will notice it is no longer watery.
- 5Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2-3 tablespoons sugar or honey, and 1 pinch salt until fully combined.
- 6Serve the Ghanaian Millet Porridge hot.
