This comforting bowl of ‘carrot cake’ millet porridge is a great way of adding vegetables to your morning porridge. Full of nutrients (magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, fiber and anti-oxidants), millet is a great gluten free alternative to your traditional oat porridge.

This morning’s breakfast certainly has an autumnal feel about it. The ‘porridge season’ is truly underway and I couldn’t be more excited! It’s such a great excuse to spice up the humble porridge and play with some seasonal flavours.

My top tip for cooking millet porridge is to soak millet overnight in water. This way millet takes minutes to cook the next day . More importantly, you remove the phytic acid that binds up minerals and enzyme inhibitors that make it difficult to digest. Don’t worry if you can’t soak it overnight – just make sure you rinse it well before use and allow a little longer for it to cook.

Cook Time 15 mins
Course Breakfast
Cuisine British
Servings 1 portion

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup millet, preferably soaked in water overnight (see the post above)
  • 1 ½ cup plant milk
  • 1 medium size carrot, grated
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (adjust the amount to your personal taste)
  • A handful of walnut pieces for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rinse millet thoroughly in cold water and drain. 
  • In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Once boiling, add the millet, grated carrot and spices and turn the heat to medium low. Simmer for 10-13 minutes (or a little longer if you hadn’t soaked the millet overnight) until all the liquid has been absorbed and millet has become ‘fluffy’. If you find the porridge is getting too dense, just add a little more water to reach the desired consistency. 
  • Transfer into a bowl and top with maple syrup and walnuts.

    I loved this recipe so much, a very satisfying breakfast so I taped it to my fridge! My personal preference was to cut the ginger and nutmeg down by half and added currants. Thank you, I’m a new millet fan now!

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo
#ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganua #ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganuary? No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so. In my humble opinion, Violife cheese alternatives are one of the best at the vegan isle. You can find Violife products in Asda, Coop, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waitrose.
