Millet porridge is a healthy and delicious alternative to oatmeal, providing a grounding and comforting breakfast. Are you stuck in a rut eating oatmeal for breakfast? This naturally sweet, satisfying alternative is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

Maple poached pears:

• 2x pears, sliced into wedges 
• 1/2 cup of maple syrup, you can also use date syrup
• A pinch of salt
• 2 cups of water 

Creamy millet porridge:

• 1 cup of milled, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups of water
• 1 cup of plant-based milk of choice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Whipped Cream with SAPPHO

• 1x can of plant-based whipped cream (coconut) or you can use regular whipped cream too
• Orange or lemon zest
• SAPPHO Liquid Activated Spice

Steps: 

• Combine maple syrup, salt, water and pear wedges in a medium saucepan. 
• Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then lower the heat, keeping a gentle simmer and cover pan loosely with a lid.
• Cook gently until the pears are tender and can be easily pierced with a thin knife. 
• Remove the fruit from the pan to a bowl, but keep the liquid in the pan. Raise heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring frequently, until it has reduced to about 1/2 of its original volume. Then pour it over the fruit and allow it to cool completely. 
• Make the millet porridge: combine millet, water, plant-based milk and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Cook on low simmer for 10-15 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent millet from sticking. Once the millet has puffed up a bit and is tender when you taste it, it is done. 
• Remove from heat and serve immediately. 
• Whipp your cream with some orange/lemon zest and add 5-10 drops of SAPPHO liquid activated spice. Whipp until ingredients are combined.
• Spoon it into bowls and top with poached pears, spice whipped cream, honey or date syrup and anything else you have in your kitchen. 
• We recommend getting creative with your porridge toppings, as it's the most enjoyable part!
