For my own reference - breakfast cereal mix

Grace à catarzyna:

Morning Hot Cereal Mix

· ½ cup oatmeal

· ½ cup Cream of Wheat cereal

· ½ cup Red River or multigrain hot cereal mix – I use Quaker Simple Harvest Oatmeal maple brown sugar with pecans.

· ½ cup wheat germ

· ½ cup oat bran

· 1/2 cup raisins

· ½ cup mixed dried fruit: cranberries, cherries and blueberries

· ½ cup slivered almonds

· ¼ cup protein powder (optional) - I use vanilla protein powder that has 26 grams of protein/scoop

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container to keep for weeks. I store mine in a wide-mouth Ball-Mason quart canning jar.

To make breakfast use ½ cup of the dried mixture and 1 cup water to make 1 cup of cooked cereal.

Stovetop Directions:

Mix and heat on medium-high until boiling. Continue cooking on low heat mixture thickens and has a porridge-like consistency.

Microwave Directions:

I don’t know about you, but I don’t really have time to cook on the stovetop in the morning when I am working. I make mine in the microwave in a covered Pyrex casserole dish. Microwave for 3 minutes be cautious and stop microwave to stir if it appears that it might boil over.

Stir, then microwave for another minute until mixture thickens and has a porridge-like consistency. I use 1-2 tsps of turbinado or raw sugar to sweeten.

Yes, absolutely. I thought I'd caught it in the cut-and-paste, but managed to miss it. Thanks!

No problem! I just can't take credit for the recipe and the book was just released in 2008. :-)

Except for the Cream of Wheat part, that sounds good. But I just can't handle the CoW!!

Even when mixed into that much other stuff?

And I'd bet you could take the cream of wheat out of this recipe with very little effect, because there's so much else in it.
