Multi-Grain Hot Cereal image

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.

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!
