Spiced Apple Millet

Spiced Apple Millet

Sorry, but I won’t believe you if you say you don’t like to eat pie for breakfast. Nope. I firmly believe it’s impossible to dislike something so gooey and delicious in the mornings.

But sometimes you don’t always have a slice of pie waiting for you in the fridge. So, my friends, instead you turn to the breakfast grains. In pie form, of course.

Spiced Apple Millet ( aka Apple Pie Millet)

• 1/3 cup dry millet
• 1/2 a large apple (or 1 small one)
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• sweetener, if desired (agave, maple syrup, honey)

1. Chop up your apple (skin is optional- I left it on). Rinse your millet (a sieve works well). Drain.
2. Heat a few teaspoons or so of oil in a pot. When it’s hot, add the apple, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Saute for a few minutes. Add the drained millet, and saute a few minutes more, until fragrant.
4. Add the water, and bring heat to a boil over high temperature. When it boils, reduce heat to low and simmer 25 min.
5. Drizzle with sweetener, if desired. Serve!

             

  

I love apples! Except we only buy them in the fall/winter months…

This picture made me feel like I was 5 again:

Recently I have this thing about eating my breakfast grains (oatmeal, millet, quinoa, etc…) in a cup. For some reason it seems… cozier than a big bowl. And more portable (the handle!)

Example: The Brown Rice Porridge I mentioned Here

I’m feeling a lot better, I think I’m over my cold…
Have a FANTASTIC Sunday (the weekend is flying by so fast!)
