Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon butter (or plant-based butter)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- optional toppings: chopped nuts, extra blueberries, or a drizzle of cream
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Gradually whisk in the yellow cornmeal to prevent clumping and reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Stir in the milk and salt, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
Fold in the blueberries, honey, butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the blueberries and combine the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mush cool slightly—it will continue to thicken as it stands.
Spoon the warm corn mush into serving bowls and top with optional toppings like chopped nuts, extra blueberries, or a drizzle of cream, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, fruity flavors of this wholesome breakfast dish!
