Millet is a chronically underappreciated grain, and it deserves a place on your table. The tiny yellow grains are gluten-free and have a neutral, sweet flavor that supports whatever seasonings you add to it. In this easy, make-ahead porridge, the grains fall apart to make it thick and creamy, with a hint of apple sweetness. Apples, cranberries and cinnamon give it a warming, wintry finish.

Millet Porridge With Cinnamon-Cranberry Apples
Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) millet
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup (240g) apple juice
- 1 5.3-oz. (143g) container 0% Greek yogurt
- 2 scoops whey protein powder (unflavored)
- 1 large apple, chopped
- 1/4 cup (40g) dried cranberries
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Rinse the millet in a fine-mesh strainer and drain well. Place in a small pot and add 1 cup water and the apple juice. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the millet is tender and beginning to break down.
Remove from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and protein powder until a thick, creamy porridge forms. Keep warm.
In a small bowl, combine the apple, dried cranberries, and cinnamon and toss to coat.
Serve the porridge topped with the apple mixture.
