Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 High speed blender
  • 1 loaf pan 8×4 inches

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw millet soaked for 6–8 hours (or overnight)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup kefir
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp psyllium husk (read a note)
  • ½ tsp salt or to tast

Optional add-ins:

  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness
  • Herbs, seeds, or spices for extra flavor

NOTE: If your batter is already thick enough, psyllium is optional, but it does help improve structure and adds extra fiber.

Instructions
 

  • 1. Soak the millet. Rinse 1 cup of raw millet, then soak it in water for at least 6–8 hours or overnight. This softens the grains and makes them easier to blend and digest.
  • 2. Drain and blend. Drain the soaked millet well. Add it to a blender with eggs, kefir, olive oil, baking powder, psyllium husk, and salt.
  • 3. Blend until smooth. Blend until you get a thick, slightly textured batter — it should look like pancake or muffin batter. If it’s too thick to blend, add a splash of kefir or water.
  • 4. Let it rest. Allow the batter to sit for 10–15 minutes. The psyllium husk will absorb moisture and thicken the mixture.
  • 5. Prepare the pan. Grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • 6. Bake the bread. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 7. Cool completely. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack. Cool completely before slicing — this helps it firm up and slice neatly.
