Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (60g) raw walnuts or almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 pinch (1g) sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Cream of Wheat (whole grain farina)
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1 cup (240ml) skim milk
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Place the chopped nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes until they smell nutty and turn a light golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the water, milk, salt, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, ensuring it does not reach a rolling boil.
  3. Slowly whisk the Cream of Wheat into the simmering liquid. Continue to stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the texture becomes thick and velvety.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Divide the cereal into two bowls. Drizzle with maple syrup and fold in half of the toasted nuts, then sprinkle the remaining nuts on top.
