  • Millet is rich in fiber, B vitamins, amino acids, and various trace elements. Millet porridge contains beneficial "slow" carbohydrates that give the body more energy without leading to weight gain. That's exactly why this recipe is perfect for a healthy, balanced breakfast for both adults and kids. If you like, you can swap the milk for a plant-based version — almond, coconut, or soy. First, look the millet over carefully and pick out any unhulled grains or debris. Then rinse the grain thoroughly under running water several times, until the water runs clear. This washes out all the dust and tiny bits of grit; otherwise the finished porridge can taste bitter. Pour the milk into a pot, add the rinsed millet, and add salt. Set it over low heat. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, skim off the foam. Then turn the heat down to its lowest setting and cover the pot. Cook the millet for 20–25 minutes over low heat, until the liquid is fully absorbed or the porridge reaches the consistency you want. Stir now and then so the porridge doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pot. If the millet is still a bit firm, you can add a little more milk. Take the finished porridge off the heat, divide it among serving bowls, and top it to taste with berries, fruit, and nuts. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top (you can use any sweetener, or none at all). Serve the porridge hot! A tasty, wholesome breakfast is ready! Enjoy!
