MULTI-GRAIN HOT CEREAL (SLOW-COOKER)



Multi-Grain Hot Cereal (Slow-Cooker) image

Made with steel cut oats, quinoa, wheat berries, and brown rice. Adapted from a recipe from the Complete Whole Grains Cookbook by Judith Finlayson. I love it because it is super healthy, super easy, and reheats perfectly.

Time 6h5m

Yield 12 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup brown rice, rinsed & drained
1 cup quinoa, rinsed & drained
1 cup wheat berries
1 cup steel cut oats
11 cups water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 -2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 apples, peeled, cored & diced

Steps:

  • dump everything into a lightly greased, large crockpot.
  • Cook on low overnight (about 6 hours was enough for me); or on high for 4 hours.
  • The original recipe suggests adding additional dried fruits, like raisins or cranberries in the last hour before serving. I topped mine with some maple syrup.
  • *I used a brown, long-grain basmati rice, but I'm sure any length rice would work fine. Also, I didn't have any apples, but I had some dehydrated apple-chips which I crushed and tossed in -- they worked great.

CROCK POT HOT MULTIGRAIN CEREAL

One of my favorite ways to begin the day, and you can use your slow cooker to ensure that all family members get off to a nutritious start. Cook the cereal overnight and leave the slow cooker on Warm in the morning. Everyone can help themselves according to their schedules. Try using Irish oatmeal or steel cut oats, instead of traditional rolled oats for a crunchier version. Multigrain cereals are one way of ensuring that you maximize the nutritional benefits of cereal grains. You can buy them pre packaged, usually in 3, 5 or 7 grain combinations or under a brand name, or you can make your own by combining your favorite grains. Store multigrain cereal in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

MULTI-GRAIN HOT CEREAL

I was tired of oatmeal, so I threw the grains that I had in the cupboard into a pot. Ta-da...out came this yummy cereal. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 43m

Yield 3 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups water
2 tablespoons amaranth grain
2 tablespoons millet
2 tablespoons rye flakes
2 tablespoons cracked wheat
2 tablespoons steel cut oats
2 tablespoons flax seeds
1/3 cup dried apricot, chopped
1/3 cup raw almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • The grains need to equal 1 cup, so I used heaping tablespoons. The flaxseeds are in addition to the 1 cup. You can use any dried fruit and nuts you like and any combination of grains as long as the grain to water ratio is 1:3. Next time I make it, I think I'm going to try adding brown rice and quinoa into the mix. I'm also thinking of grinding the grains in the blender to make more of a creamy cereal, but I honestly don't know it that will work or not.
  • Boil water. Stir in grains and flaxseeds. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in fruit and nuts. Cover and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Serve with a little soy milk and your good to go! Store leftovers in the fridge.
  • Enjoy!
