There are two ways to make Instant Pot millet, like a pilaf or like porridge. The pilaf method makes drier, fluffier millet and the porridge method makes millet that is softer and creamier.

Looks good! I'm looking forward to trying the millet porridge for breakfast.

I have never tried millet before.  I love the soft creamy texture of the porridge.  It is going to be a staple for breakfast now at my house.

This reminds me of my childhood; I ate a lot of millet growing up. It is versatile, and I love it!

I've never cooked with millet before. I'm intrigued now. I'm going to get some and give this a try!

This is going to be amazing for breakfast at my house. My kids love any kind of hot cereal with honey and berries.

I appreciate that you've given us two ways to prepare the millet. Its such a versatile grain.

A really simple breakfast porridge made creamy with luscious coconut milk and indulgent with a topping of dark chocolate and nuts.

Place millet in a small saucepan on low heat. Toast lightly until dry and a shade darker. Add water and salt. Increase heat to medium and cook for approximately 15 minutes until the grain has puffed up.

Reduce heat to low, add coconut milk and simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Remove from heat, pour in a bowl and top with chocolate, nuts and maple syrup (if desired).

Place 1 cup of the millet in a coffee grinder or dry container of your blender and process until broken down. Millet should be somewhere in between grain and flour state.

Add processed millet and remaining 1/4 cup of intact millet into the pot of a greased (*see note) slow cooker.

Add the remaining ingredients, stir well, cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove lid, give it a good stir adding 1/2 - 1 cup more milk or liquid as needed for the desired consistency until incorporated.

Then switch off the stove, but leave the millet to swell for another 10 minutes. Now the excess liquid is sucked up, and you will soon have a creamy result. If you have a gas stove where the stove doesn't stay hot forever, let the millet cook a few minutes longer.

Porridge is a widely consumed breakfast. You can find it in almost every cuisine. The most commonly used ingredient in porridge is oats. However, not many know that we can use other ingredients instead of oats as well. For instance, millet is an underrated yet amazing ingredient that you can use to make breakfast porridge. So, for those who like to enjoy a vegan and healthy breakfast, millet porridge is just the perfect recipe for you to try out! It has a fluffy texture and is loaded with nutrients and minerals.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love it..

I am excited to see this recipe. I eat oatmeal regularly and this seems as if it would be a nice change up.

Thank you for this blog post! I love porridge, but we are tired of oats. I never heard about millet, and I can't wait to try it soon.

I have to admit, I have heard of millet, but really didn't know what it was.  Thank you for all the information!  I will need to incorporate this into my breakfast routine!

This looks really good! It reminds me quite a bit of grits. I'll definitely be trying this.

This porridge looks so inviting and delicious.  My family would love to wake up to this for breakfast.
