This recipe is a hearty breakfast cereal that is packed with vitamins and fiber. Top this deliciously different cereal with maple syrup of molasses. The recipe is adapted from Oat Cuisine by Bobbie Hinman.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/3 cup oat bran
1/3 cup polenta or coarse yellow cornmeal
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
2 cups water
maple syrup (optional)
molasses (optional)
cream (optional)

Directions

1
Add the water to a medium size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
2
While the water is coming to a boil, combine the oat bran, polenta, and cinnamon.
3
When water boils, whisk in the oat bran mixture using a wire whisk to prevent lumps.
4
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture is thick and creamy, stirring frequently.
5
Stir in the dried fruit, divide the cereal between 2 bowls and drizzle with warmed maple syrup or molasses.

This was lovely for a change of pace for brekky, a bit different from your regular porridge. I topped with a little maple & some vanilla yoghurt, lovely thanks!

I liked this recipe just fine. It was a nice change up for a breakfast cereal. I didn't use any maple syrup or molasses, which might be why I thought it was good but not outstanding.

This is a very different type of porridge that is quick and easy to make. A good healthy breakfast when you are looking for a break from oatmeal. DH said it was lacking depth and suggested adding nuts and maybe more raisins.

Another recipe so simple and delicious you scratch your head wondering why you hadn't come to the idea on your own. Pairing my morning staple of oats with polenta was a surefire hit - both are creamy and comforting. What really surprised me was just how well they went together with the cornmeal giving the dish a lovely sweetness that was heightened by the drizzle of maple. For the dried fruit, I used a combination of golden raisins, dried cranberries, and diced dried apricots. Will definitely keep a supply of the mix together for the future. Thanks!
