Banana Millet porridge

 Banana Millet porridge

½ cup millet, pre-soaked overnight

2 cups water

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large ripe banana

½ cup almond milk or other milk of choice

1 tablespoon almond butter or nut butter of choice

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Drain the millet and add it to a medium saucepan. Toast the millet over low to medium heat, until it is slightly browned and gives off a nutty aroma, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the millet.

Add the water and cinnamon to the saucepan with the millet. Raise the heat to medium high so that the water will start to boil. Once the water is boiling, turn the heat down to low and cover. Let the millet simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until it becomes creamy and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and leave the cover on. 

Mash the banana with a fork and add to the millet. In a small bowl, whisk the almond milk and almond butter together, and add to the millet, stirring to incorporate. Taste, and add the honey if desired.
