Millet is actually really healthy. It has lots of vitamins B, proteins, magnesium … And it is on my menu at least 3 times per week for breakfast. I usually make it really simple - just cook it in water and then add 1-2 dl of plant-based milk and some cinnamon.
But today I topped it with “pan made granola”, that gives the whole meal nice comforting feeling.
If you are trying to cut down on sugar I wouldn’t recommend topping it with maple syrup. But if you want to be in that YOLO mode - please add it generously.
This millet porridge with sour cherries is excellent snack to pack for trips or for work. You can make a bit more of it and keep it in fridge for couple of days.
Enjoy making it!

wise-ass corner
Sour cherries I used were really sour. I think any other berries would be a really nice option too!
