Spiced Millet Porridge

Ingredients

• 1 cup Millet
• 3 cups Water
• 1 cup Plant-based milk (coconut, almond, or oat)
• 1 small Cinnamon stick
• 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Maple syrup (or other sweetener)

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 cup of millet in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes any dust or debris.
2. 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed 1 cup of millet, 3 cups of water, 1 cup of plant-based milk, 1 small cinnamon stick, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. 3Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. 4The porridge is ready when the millet is tender to the bite and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency. You should no longer see distinct grains of millet, and the porridge should hold its shape on a spoon.
5. 5Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until fully incorporated.
6. 6Carefully locate and remove the 1 small cinnamon stick from the porridge.
7. 7Serve the Spiced Millet Porridge warm. It is delicious on its own or with fresh fruit.
