servings
Want a warm, comforting breakfast? This Cream of Wheat® Recipe is it with brown sugar, maple syrup, and fresh fruit. This traditional hot cereal recipe will remind you of the best parts of childhood.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- ⅓ cup Cream of Wheat®
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- fresh blueberries and raspberries for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Put the milk, vanilla, and butter into a medium pot and heat on medium-high until just boiling. *DO NOT leave unattended so milk does not overflow once it is boiling!
- Add the salt and steadily pour in the Cream of Wheat. If you add the Cream of Wheat steadily while stirring, it will result in a smooth consistency. Pour it in all at once, there may be lumps in your finished product. Lumps are ok, and sometimes I prefer them. It's a matter of preference.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue stirring until desired consistency is reached, about 2 ½ minutes.
- Divide cereal between bowls. Mix one tablespoon of the brown sugar into each of the bowls. Drizzle one tablespoon of maple syrup over each and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
