Hot or cold, this millet pudding is delicious. The flavor is delicate either way. Breakfast oats are boring, but this is an excellent alternative for vegan diets. Try it out for yourself, and you’ll see why everyone recommends it when people are on their vegan diet.
Millet Pudding Recipe
If you’re a dessert fanatic or a vegan food lover who values your health, millet pudding is the way to go. Of course, it would help if you only had a few basic items and a short time to prepare a meal. As an excellent example of a healthy dish that does double duty in maintaining good health, this pudding is fantastic for your bones and cholesterol. Excellent flavor comes from the combination of fresh finger millet and jaggery in this vegetarian recipe.
Parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and potlucks can all benefit from serving this light and airy dessert to guests. Additionally, if you want your kids to like you and come to you when they’re craving a sweet treat, you need to try this dish immediately.
As far as the overall process of making this recipe is concerned, millet should be toasted over medium heat in a covered medium saucepan until it begins to pop. Toasted but not too dark is the desired level of doneness.
Toss the toasted millet with the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Boil the food in the pan with the lid on. After 20 to 25 minutes, when the millet has reached the desired doneness, reduce the heat to low and continue simmering while stirring occasionally. The dish can be served hot with almond extract, chopped almonds, and berries for garnish. I love using my Vitamix This will ensure that you get a smooth end result.

Main Ingredients
Cooked warm millet
Northern China and Africa mark the origins of millet, a type of seed. Taste-wise and gluten-wise, this ancient grain is very similar to corn. Cooled millet pudding is heated till it has the consistency of oatmeal, and then you can add other vegan ingredients.
Millet can be toasted in a medium saucepan by heating it over medium heat and turning it frequently until the grains pop. You should keep in mind a time estimate of three minutes.
Cashews
Add cashews to your millet pudding to give a crunchy and nutty flavor. Remember to rinse the cashews beforehand.
Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is a sweet syrup extracted from the sap of maple trees. This is used as a substitute for honey to sweeten the millet pudding. You can use a moderate amount of maple syrup in your pudding.
Vanilla extract
Vanilla extract makes any food taste like a dessert because of its sweet aroma. You can use vanilla extract to give a sweet and savory taste of vanilla in your millet pudding which will be delicious for your tastebuds. Vanilla bean paste tastes more natural than vanilla extract.
Salt and water
Salt should be used per your taste to make the bland pudding tasteful. Like rice pudding, you can use coconut or almond milk to taste the millet pudding; however, water would also suffice.
How to store the leftover millet pudding?
If you’d like, you can prepare millet pudding in advance. Make more of the foundational formula; that’s what you should do. You may reheat portions with additional liquid and your preferred condiments over the next few days.
Remove the top and fluff the millet pudding before serving or using it. Cooked millet pudding can be stored for up to three months in the freezer or for up to a week in the refrigerator. A priori seems reasonable. Reheating food requires adding a small amount of liquid (water or milk).
What are the health benefits of millet pudding?
The millet pudding is an excellent food for kids who will grow up to be productive adults: A healthy metabolism and optimal nutrient utilization result from a vitamin B complex diet. Both are found in this delicious and nutritious millet pudding which would be highly beneficial for your plant-based diet.
You may easily substitute nectarines, pears, bananas, or apples in the recipe. Alternatively, berry-based dishes like blueberries and blackberries. With this ingenious plan, you can encourage your children to consume more fruit. Millets are high-carb and high-protein grains.
Millets are high in soluble fiber, which forms a dense mass when broken down in the body. As a result, cholesterol levels are lowered because fat absorption is inhibited. Millets are a kind of grain high in carbohydrates and proteins. Calcium in one serving of finger millet is the highest of any grain.
Cashews benefit your heart health by including a lot of protein and fiber but very little sugar. The minerals copper, magnesium, and manganese in these foods are essential for producing energy and maintaining a healthy central nervous system, endocrine system, and skeletal system.
Since cashews contain high levels of antioxidants, it stands to reason that they provide comparable protection against oxidation. This may be particularly true with roasted cashews, which, presumably due to the roasting process, exhibit more antioxidant activity than their “raw” counterparts. In addition, phytonutrients, including carotenoids and polyphenols, may be abundant in cashews. These antioxidants may help decrease inflammation and provide some disease protection.
Why would you love this recipe?
Millet, a very ancient grain, is also perfect for you. This gluten-free millet can be used to prepare various dishes. It may be a salad, a side dish, or an accompaniment to a hearty stew. This ingredient should be your initial choice if you want to live a vegan lifestyle because of its gluten-free properties. Because it is a foundation grain and naturally alkaline, millet has a low glycemic index. As a result, the digestive system quickly absorbs it.
This aids in the restoration of healthy gut flora, making it a good choice for those who are having difficulty digesting food. As a result, spleen issues, anemia, arthritis, and neurological disorders are all improved. Along with the nutritious value, the millet pudding tastes heavenly and delectable.
