Ingredients

  • ½ cup hulled millet

  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut

  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, divided

  • 3 Medjool dates, pitted and diced

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Pulse millet in a blender or food processor until it resembles coarse ground coffee. Set aside.

  2. Heat a nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and toast until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add pepitas and continue to stir and toast until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in coconut and flax seeds and toast until golden, about 5 minutes more. Pour mixture into a bowl and set aside.

  3. Pour ground millet into the same pan. Toast until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1 1/2 cups almond milk, stirring to ensure there are no lumps. Bring to a boil; add dates. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally.

  4. Add 2 tablespoons of the toasted seed mixture to the porridge. Sprinkle in cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well. Continue simmering until thickened, 6 to 10 minutes.

  5. Pour porridge into two bowls. Divide remaining seed mixture and 1/2 cup almond milk between bowls and serve.
