We all know porridge with oatmeal. So how about a little variety for breakfast? With a delicious millet porridge with apricots you start the day fit.
You can't really get up for breakfast either? Then you haven't tried this wonderful millet porridge yet. :)
Millet, quinoa, amaranth and Co get far too little attention from all of us. Most of the time, rolls with jam, a boring muesli or simply nothing at all end up on our breakfast tables.
But we're putting an end to that now! Because if you have the Millet porridge once tried, you will love it as much as we do <3 :)
The ingredients for millet porridge in a jar
Before we get to the recipe, a few words about the ingredients.
Millet in porridge
The name of this breakfast recipe reveals the most important ingredient: millet. It is a gluten-free grain and contains many minerals and trace elements. More about this after the recipe.
If you are already a fan of millet before the porridge recipe, you should definitely check out our Millet porridge with berries drop by.
Milk in millet porridge
To make a porridge nice and creamy, we need milk. Whether you take vegetable milk or cow's milk, you decide yourself. Both are very tasty.
We use almond milk because it brings a really delicious taste. Who does not feel like a vegan millet porridge has, simply takes cow's milk. Tastes just as delicious :)
Porridge fan? Try amaranth porrige with pear and nuts!
Calories can be saved by adding water to the milk. This does nothing for the taste.
Spices for porridge with millet
Millet itself is not so exciting in terms of taste. It tastes good, but still pretty boring.
That's why we help out with spices. In our millet porridge ends up next to Cinnamon* and vanilla and lots of fruit.
You have a free choice of fruit. It's best to use something seasonal. We have prepared this recipe in the summer, so there's a delicious porridge with millet and apricots.
If you like, you can add a little honey for more sweetness. However, if you take fresh and really ripe fruit, you can also do without it.

How to make your millet porridge even faster
That sounds like a lot of effort for you? It doesn't have to be. You can either cook millet the night before and store it in a tupperware box in the fridge.
Or, if you have a few more minutes, just let the millet soak in water overnight. This way, the small grains cook much faster.
By the way, the ideal procedure is this: After cooking, put them aside and let them cool a little. Do the same with the pureed apricots.
Meanwhile, you can hop in the shower. By the time you're done, the millet porridge and apricots will be at the perfect temperature. Now it's just a matter of layering them together and you're done!
