Ingredients
- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)

Instructions
Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve to remove any impurities.

Add the rinsed bulgur wheat, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
