This nutritious, creamy, hot breakfast is naturally sweet and super easy to make. It just takes a little baking time. It's fabulous both fresh and warmed up later with a little milk. My kids and I gobble it down every time.

Ingredients

  • 4 ¼ cups hot water

  • 1 cup millet

  • ¾ cup milk

  • ¾ cup chopped dates

  • ½ cup dried blueberries, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine hot water, millet, milk, dates, blueberries, and vanilla extract in a 9x13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Spread evenly.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Stir evenly, and continue to bake until millet is thick and no liquid remains, about 30 minutes more.

  4. Cool slightly before serving.

Cook's Note:

Substitute a favorite dried fruit or berry for the blueberries. Use goat, rice, soy, or nut milk or lactose-free milk for the regular milk if you like.
