Millet Porridge

Recipe #65734 | 30 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Looking to add other grains to your diet? Try millet as a hot breakfast cereal. Note: I adopted this as an "authorless" recipe, as it was one I had tried and liked. I have changed the recipe from the original description that it made 2 servings; as I and both other reviewers at this time found that it really makes 1 serving. It can, however, be doubled very easily. I cook mine in my rice cooker which I recommend as a very easy way to make this.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

    Remove from heat.
  6. 6
    Drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
  7. 7
    Serve.

I am guilty of not reveiwing this earlier. It tastes wonderful. I use nut milk in place of regular milk. Since it is so easy to digest, I served this to my daughters when they were nausous at those early months of pregnancy. That's how I knew my daughter was pregnant with her second; she kept asking me to make this. The grandkid loves it also. Thanks for posting.

    This was a nice change to the usual oatmeal. The millet took 20 minutes to soak up the liquid. It seems to retain some shape and texture after it is cooked. I knew millet was good for you, but didn't want to put it in bread (DH won't eat anything crunchy in his bread.) This was a good compromise for me.

    Very nice and creamy hot cereal. Way too easy to eat! I practically ate both servings myself. I substituted water for the milk (didn't have any) and omitted the raisins and put in a little coconut instead. When cooked I added a bit of stevia to sweeten it up and then just a drizzle of maple syrup. Thanks for a delicious way to eat millet, Cornelia! I'll be making this often.

    Excellent instructions. This cooks up so nicely and cooking time is spot on 25 minutes. A keeper for anyone who loves hot cooked cereal. (It was easy eating both servings myself!) Used soy beverage and maple syrup. Cornelia, thank you!!
