Maple-Kissed Creamy Millet Breakfast Bowl

1. Boil Water and Add Millet

Start by bringing 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed cup of millet, 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt into the boiling water. This combination of spices and salt will enhance the natural flavors of the millet. Once everything is in the pot, give it a good stir.

2. Cook Millet

When the water reaches a boil again, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it cook for about 20 minutes. This is when the magic happens: the millet will absorb the water, becoming tender and soft. You'll know it's ready when most of the water is absorbed and the millet grains are almost tender.

3. Add Milk and Simmer

Next, increase the heat slightly and pour in 1 cup of whole milk. Keep the mixture at a gentle simmer and stir it frequently for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial because the simmering milk will make the millet fully tender and give the dish its creamy texture. You'll notice the mixture thickening as the milk integrates with the millet.

4. Add Maple Syrup and Serve

Finally, stir in 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, which will add a touch of sweetness and a delightful maple flavor. Once everything is well combined, your Maple-Kissed Creamy Millet Breakfast Bowl is ready to serve. Enjoy it warm, and savor the comforting combination of creamy millet and maple syrup.
