Sweet Polenta

February 24, 2015

One of my favorite breakfast cereals, quick, creamy and delicately sweet. It’s so yummy; I could eat it every day.

Makes 3-4 servings

Ingredient List:

  • 2 ½ cups unsweetened organic almond or soy milk
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
  • pinch sea salt
  • ½ cup organic yellow corn grits

Step By Step Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking frequently, until the grits thicken and the center pops and bubbles, about 25 minutes. Spoon into individual serving bowls.

Cook’s Tip: When they are in season, I love to stir fresh raspberries into the cereal at the end of cooking, or sprinkle them on top of each bowl. You may also add ¼ cup raisins at the beginning of cooking to create more sweet taste. Finally, stir some lightly toasted chopped pecans, chia seeds or hempseeds for some protein and extra energy.
