Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Cream of Wheat cereal
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Banana
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk, 0.5 cup of water, and 0.125 teaspoon of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the liquid is simmering, gradually whisk in 0.5 cup of Cream of Wheat cereal to avoid lumps. Continue to stir constantly for 2-3 minutes as the mixture begins to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cereal reaches your desired consistency.
Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds while the cereal is cooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of butter (optional) for added richness.
Divide the Cream of Wheat cereal between two bowls. Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and top with banana slices.
For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon on top of each bowl (optional).
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your creamy, wholesome breakfast.
