Hot Cereal for Breakfast

Its turned chilly in my neck of the woods.  Unseasonably chilly!  High in the 50s today and its still early September!  Luckily I have a great hot breakfast idea.  Its from many years ago and to be honest its the only way I can eat Grape-Nuts.

That's right you heard me ... Grape Nuts.  Those hard little nuggets that will break your teeth if you're not careful.  BUT .... add some milk, heat them in the microwave for a minute and a half and then add maple syrup and fruit (I had fresh blueberries this morning) and its turns into something warm and filling and really, really tasty.

Here's how I make it:

1/2 c Grape Nuts cereal
1/2 c skim milk
1 Tbsp maple syrup

Mix cereal and milk in a bowl large enough to allow the heating mixture to expand without overflowing. Heat on high for 1.5 minutes

Stir in the syrup.

You can add fruit if you like.  The nutrition facts are just for the cereal though

That's it!

Simple, Delicious.  Enjoy.
