Hot Birdseed

Gluten-free, Soy-Free, Nut-Free, Dairy-Free, Eggless

I love hot cereal, but found it hard to find enough variety with my new found food intolerances.  Then I found Millet, which is commonly found as a cheap filler in birdseed. Those small round grains are only 18 cents a pound at Winco, and they cook up similar to grits.  They are pretty thirsty, make sure they have plenty of water to soak up.

1 cup millet
4 cup water

Place in Rice cooker.  Once cooked, sprinkle with something sweet (brown sugar and raisins) and pour some milk alternative (Goats milk) and eat.

Notes:
Make sure grains are soft and well cooked.  They taste fine when they are a little drier, but they do not reheat well. Reheat with added liquid to rehydrate millet.  May wish to store in fridge with a bit of water. If desiring more granola texture, decrease water to 3 cups. A savory version can be done with butter and salt and pepper.
