This is a great recipe! I added some almond milk instead of water, and it came out delightful. Perfect for breakfast!
Millet porridge? LOL!!! Sounds so fancy! 😄
Millet? Is that like quinoa? Anyway I still tried it, not bad, would eat again.
This porridge is so creamy! I used milk and added strawberries. Yummy!
Not my thing, but my kid loved it! 5 stars from him. He’s 4.
Perfect breakfast! I love how healthy it is, can’t believe it took me so long to try!
I tried this recipe and it turned out amazing! Will definitely make it again.
So glad to hear that! Millet porridge is the best for a healthy breakfast.
Isn’t millet for birds? I don’t get why people eat this. 🤔
Millet is actually super nutritious! It’s a great source of protein and fiber. Many cultures eat it! Don’t knock it till you try it! 😊
I dunno, I’ve heard some people say it’s just for birds too. Not sure why anyone would eat it if that’s true. 😕
Meh, it was okay. I expected more flavor. Maybe I should’ve added more honey?
I don’t get why people like millet. It’s gritty and not sweet like oatmeal. Meh.
So simple! Perfect for breakfast. Love the honey and fruit combo.
Delicious!!! I used almond milk and added strawberries. Yum!
I don’t know about almond milk in porridge. Isn’t it usually made with regular milk? Just seems… weird.
That sounds amazing! Strawberries really would add a nice touch to the porridge. I’ll have to try that next time!
Very easy to make but mine turned out a bit watery. Maybe I used too much water?
Watery? I thought it was supposed to be like that! Not very good then, huh?
I find that using less water helps a lot! I usually stick to 1.5 cups instead of 2. Maybe give that a try next time!
Not sure about millet… it’s kinda weird. I used rice instead and it was fine.
I get it! Millet can be a little different, but it’s really nutritious! Glad you found a substitute that worked for you!
I don’t like honey, can I use sugar? Asking for a friend.
Yea, sugar is fine! It’ll just taste a bit different. Just start small with it.
