On low-medium heat, add the millet flakes along with the water and almond milk then proceed to stir.
Continue to stir until the flakes begin to dissolve and the texture thickens. This should take 5 minutes or so. Add more almond milk or water if required
As the porridge thickens, reduce the flame to low, add the cinnamon and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Feel free to stir in some raisins if you wish. Alternatively, you can garnish with a handful of raisins, pecans and drizzle with a sweetener of your choice.

Don't boil the millet whether you are using millet seeds or flakes, either texture needs to be added to a saucepan along with the milk and water. If it gets too hot it can stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
Continually stir the pot as you cook the porridge so that it doesn't stick and heats through evenly.
The millet mixture needs to be stirred and heated through until it thickens. How thick you want your millet is your preference. My recipe is a medium texture - not too thick/thin. Adjust liquids accordingly if you want a different texture.
Mix the toppings up! add your chosen topping (pecans and raisins) upon serving. As millet porridge is quite plain adding a hint of cinnamon, vanilla with a handful of raisins and pecans - really boast those flavours.
Try serving this millet porridge with fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries.
