Ingredients
- 1 cup Cream of Wheat (instant or quick-cooking)
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Optional: Stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the milk mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the milk begins to simmer, gradually whisk in the Cream of Wheat, ensuring there are no lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the mixture for about 2 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the Cream of Wheat thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Taste the Cream of Wheat and, if desired, add a sugar-free sweetener to enhance the sweetness according to your preference.
Divide the Cinnamon Cream of Wheat into bowls and serve warm. You can garnish with additional cinnamon or a few sliced almonds for extra texture if desired.
