I was watching Brunch with Bobby Flay where he made a peanut butter and jam cream of wheat. Cream of Wheat was a childhood favourite of mine, so I had to try it out. I slightly changed the recipe to incorporate more protein and less sugar. Cinnamon is something I always use in my cooking because it is known to reduce blood sugars. The berries are less sweet and have a lower gylcemic index. Unfortunately, thee cream of wheat itself is a high glycemic index. I would u recommend portion control on this one. The extra fiber from the chia seeds and almond meal is an added bonus.
Cream of Wheat:
- 1 cup of skim milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter
- 3 tbsp cream of wheat
- 1 tbsp almond meal/ flour
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of cinnamon
Topping:
- berries warmed up and smashed
- chia seeds
- chopped peanuts (optional)
Directions:
In a pot simmer the liquid with peanut butter on medium and then add cream of wheat and almond meal. let it bubble a bit while stirring. Then take it off the heat
Enjoy!!!
