Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup multigrain cereal
- 2 cups water or milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup nuts or seeds (optional)
- Fresh fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of multigrain cereal, 2 cups of water or milk, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and optional toppings such as 1/4 cup of nuts or seeds and fresh fruit.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the 2 cups of water or milk with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the 1/2 cup of multigrain cereal. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Continue to cook the cereal on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cereal reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can cook it a little longer or add a splash more milk.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, add the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and stir to combine. This will infuse the cereal with a warm, aromatic flavor.
- Once the cereal is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to your taste.
- To serve, spoon the hot multigrain cereal into bowls. If desired, top with your choice of nuts or seeds for added crunch, and fresh fruit for a burst of flavor and nutrition.
- Enjoy your warm and hearty Harriett's Hot Multigrain Cereal as a nourishing breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Choose high-quality multigrain cereal for the best flavor and nutritional profile.
- Use milk instead of water for a creamier, richer texture.
- Stir continuously while cooking to prevent lumps and ensure even cooking.
- Experiment with different toppings like sliced almonds, chia seeds, or fresh berries.
- If the cereal becomes too thick, simply add a splash of warm milk to reach desired consistency.
- For extra flavor, try toasting your nuts before adding them as a topping.
- Make a larger batch and store leftovers in the refrigerator for a quick reheatable breakfast.
