Surprisingly Good Cream of Spelt Cereal
This surprisingly delicious and wholesome breakfast is rich in fibre and protein and has a smooth texture and nutty flavour. Customize with your favourite toppings!
Equipment
- 1 Grain mill or Vitamix any blender will do
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt berries or course spelt flour or spelt flakes
- 3 cups almond milk/water or any plant-based milk
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of plant-based milk or water to a boil
- While milk is heating up, grind spelt berries to a coarse flour using a grain mill or Vitamix (or any blender)
- Optional: for a nuttier flavour, lightly toast the spelt flour in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 2 - 4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Add salt to the milk once it has boiled, and then add the flour gradually while whisking.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes until cereal is thickened, stirring frequently. If the cereal becomes too thick, add more milk or water.
- Transfer the cereal to bowls and add your favourite toppings. Fresh fruit, berry compote, maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, toasted nuts and coconut, and more milk are all great options!
- Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For a thicker cereal, use less liquid or cook longer. Add more milk for a creamier texture.
- This recipe works well with dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk or any other plant-based milk.
- This cereal can be made with other grains such as kamut and einkorn.
