Fluffy Millet Breakfast Fruit Cake

Breakfast can be a meal that causes us to get stuck in a rut, where we have the same thing day after day. I love that this recipe uses millet, it's one of my favorite grains. In this recipe, the millet produces a fluffy breakfast treat that tastes good and nourishes your body! You can change the fruit with the season; pears, peaches, and apples work great! This recipe is gluten-free and egg-free but still tastes delicious.
