RUSTIC GRAIN CEREAL

Rustic Grain Cereal image

A hot morning breakfast loaded with whole grains and fruit, with the added crunch of toasted nuts. I like to make mine on Sundays and warm some in the microwave on weekday mornings for a quick hot nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

½ cup water
⅓ cup wheat berries
1 teaspoon butter
1 cup steel-cut oats
⅓ cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup slivered almonds
3 cups boiling water
1 cup chopped dried apples
⅓ cup white sugar, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Combine 1/2 cup water and wheat berries in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover saucepan, remove from heat, and set aside for wheat berries to soak, about 10 minutes.
Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat; cook and stir oats, pecans, and almonds in melted butter until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Carefully pour boiling water into nut mixture; add wheat berries and dried apples. Cover saucepan and cook over low heat, without stirring, until wheat berries are tender, about 20 minutes; stir in sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
