Creating the perfect Cozy Autumn Pumpkin Millet Breakfast Bowl involves several key preparation steps that help you achieve a comforting and nutrient-packed meal. The first and foremost step is to rinse the millet thoroughly. This is crucial because millet has a natural coating called saponin that can impart a bitter taste if not removed. By rinsing the millet under cold water for a few minutes, you not only enhance its flavor but also improve its texture, making it fluffier when cooked.

Ingredients
  

1 cup millet

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

¼ cup chopped walnuts (or any nuts/seeds)

½ cup dried cranberries (or raisins)

Fresh fruit slices (banana, apple, or pear) for topping

Extra maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Rinse the Millet: Start by rinsing the millet under cold running water to remove any dust or impurities. Drain well.

    Cook the Millet: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed millet with almond milk and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

      Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the millet simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the millet is tender.

        Mix in Pumpkin: Once the millet is cooked, remove it from heat and stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

          Serve: Spoon the pumpkin millet mixture into bowls. Top each serving with chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and fresh fruit slices.

            Finish with Drizzle: If desired, drizzle a little extra maple syrup over each bowl for added sweetness.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy this cozy, nutritious breakfast!
