• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 cup
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup millet
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• 1⁄4 cup heavy cream (optional)
• 1 tablespoon white sugar (optional)

directions

1. Lightly toast millet over medium heat until it smells nutty (about 2 minutes).
2. Add milk and water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for around 25 minutes, until most or all liquid is absorbed.
3. Meanwhile place cream and white sugar into a small bowl and whisk until frothy or you can put in a jar and shake.
4. Add brown sugar and maple syrup when the cereal is cooked to your desired consistency and stir to combine, transfer to a bowl.
5. Pour frothy cream over the top and enjoy!
6. Tips: I also like to add a little butter, nutmeg, and cinnamon or you can use white sugar, skip the maple and add fresh berries (or any fresh fruit), strawberries and cream millet sounds just as yummy :D.
