Low FODMAP Chocolate Millet Porridge
Low FODMAP Chocolate Millet Porridge
Who doesn’t love chocolate for breakfast?! I am a self-confessed chocolate addict, and this low FODMAP chocolate millet porridge satisfies my cravings while keeping breakfast healthy.
This breakfast is filling and absolutely delicious. You can also use the flavourings in this low FODMAP recipe to tasty up rice porridge or quinoa porridge.
I love keeping this low FODMAP recipe simple by pairing it with a serving of low FODMAP fruit. To keep your breakfast interesting throughout the week you could also add a safe serving of dried shredded coconut, or top with a dollop of peanut butter and some crunchy pumpkin seeds.
Breakfast can be hard on the low FODMAP diet, so if you need some more ideas don’t forget to check out my collection here.
FODMAP Note: Common bananas are low FODMAP when they are firm (green to just yellow) in 1 medium banana serves, however they become high FODMAP quickly when they are ripe with brown spots.

- Cooking Tip: To make mornings easier, you can cook the millet in advance and reheat it with low FODMAP milk in the morning (see cooking notes).
- Toast the millet seed in a saucepan over medium high heat, for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to go golden. Add the low FODMAP milk and boiling water. Throw in a pinch of salt. Then cover and bring to a simmer. Then turn down the heat to the lowest setting and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until most of the liquid absorbs and the millet is soft.
- Peel and slice the banana, and cut the strawberries into quarters.
- Once the millet is cooked you can then stir through more low FODMAP milk until it is creamy. Stir through the unsweetened cocoa. Divide between bowls and top with the strawberries, banana and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Enjoy!
- Notes for cooking millet the night before: Complete step one in the method. Store the millet in an air tight container in the refrigerator. In the morning break up the millet using a fork. Transfer to bowls and add your low FODMAP milk. Heat in the microwave until warm. Then stir through the cocoa powder and low FODMAP fruit. Drizzle with maple syrup.
