Creamy Chocolate Millet Porridge

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups millet, divided
  • 2 medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups non-dairy milk of choice, plus more as needed after cooking
  • 2 cups water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/3 c cocoa

  • Grind the millet as stated in the original recipe
  • Place a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Melt 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil. Once hot, add all the millet and “toast” in the pot for a minute or two.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Place a lid on top of the pot and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is mostly all absorbed.
  • Remove the lid and stir well before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
  • Top as desired and enjoy!
