Millet Porridge with Apple, Blueberry & Cinnamon Compote
Millet is naturally gluten-free, so this porridge is suitable for anyone with an intolerance or allergy. Using a natural sweetener makes this a great healthy breakfast and a perfect way to start the day.
Serves 4
Ingredients
For the compote:
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped
- 4 tsp blueberries
- 2 tbsp agave syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the porridge:
- 200g (7 oz) millet
- 480ml (16 fl oz) water
- 480ml (16 fl oz) soya milk
- 4 tbsp agave syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- To make the compote, add all the compote ingredients into a saucepan over a medium heat, and cook whilst stirring occasionally for 10-12 minutes, until the fruit has cooked down, but there are still some fruit pieces.
- For the porridge, add the millet to a large saucepan over a medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the millet. Then add the water and simmer for 10-15 minutes until all the water has nearly been absorbed. Then add the soya milk, agave syrup and vanilla extract and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency — the millet should be soft. To serve, top each bowl of porridge with a spoonful of compote.
