Getting started
- In a saucepan, heat the coconut oil on medium heat.
Add the millet and spices and stir to coat. Cook for 5 – 10 minutes until toasted and popping a bit.

Blackberry Chia Sauce
- Simmer the blackberries in a saucepan over medium-low heat until juices start to release. Mash them on the side of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Stir in chia seeds and lemon juice and remove from heat.
Let sit for 5 minutes so that the chia seeds can absorb the blackberries.

Gently combine and serve in individual bowls.

- For ease, the Blackberry Chia Sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- A dollop of crème fraîche is not necessary, just may look better if you're serving for guests.
