HOT GRAPE-NUTS CEREAL



Hot Grape-nuts Cereal image

So quick and easy that it really isn't even a recipe. You can have warm cereal on a cold day without any muss or fuss. I have added fresh fruit (blueberries are a favorite) after heating the cereal. Brown sugar could be subbed for the honey. Or, eliminate the extra sweetener and use vanilla soy milk instead of regular milk. The possibilities are endless.

1/2 cup Grape-nuts cereal
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Combine cereal and milk in a microwavable bowl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Grape Nuts cereal will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients for the best flavor and nutritional value.
  • Toast the wheat berries: Toasting the wheat berries before grinding them will give your Grape Nuts cereal a richer, nuttier flavor. You can toast the wheat berries in a toaster oven or on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Grind the wheat berries coarsely: The texture of your Grape Nuts cereal will depend on how coarsely you grind the wheat berries. For a finer cereal, grind the wheat berries into a powder. For a more rustic cereal, grind the wheat berries into coarse pieces.
  • Use a good quality sweetener: The type of sweetener you use will affect the taste of your Grape Nuts cereal. For a healthier option, use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. For a sweeter cereal, use granulated sugar or brown sugar.
