This breakfast is a step up from the traditional oat porridge. Millet is an ancient grain that is more like a seed – rich in protein, magnesium, vitamin B6, iron and potassium. Coconut milk is rich in gut-friendly medium chain fatty acids. Cinnamon is blood sugar balancing (and delicious) while apples contain large amounts of vitamin C and the gut-friendly fibre pectin.
Method
- Soak millet in coconut milk for a few minutes, add the star anise, heat over medium heat and
bring to the boil. - Reduce to a low simmer, cover.
- Stir frequently, adding more coconut milk
(or water) as the millet soaks up all the coconut milk. This process will take about 15-20
minutes. - Meanwhile, grate ½ the apple and slice the other half.
- When the millet is cooked, evenly distribute it amongst 2 cereal bowls (remove the star anise), and sprinkle with cinnamon
and the apple. - You can add a drizzle of honey or peanut butter to taste.
- Enjoy!
