Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Medium Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups Water
  • ½ cup Milk Any kind
  • ⅓ cup Farina Or cream of wheat
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Flaxseed Optional; ground
  • 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • ⅓ cup Pumpkin Canned

Instructions

  • Bring water and milk (2 cups total) to a boil. Add salt and farina. Constantly stir gently. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Continue stirring until the cereal thickens. At this point, you can stir in the cinnamon, flaxseed (if using), vanilla, and maple syrup. If you desire a thinner cereal, add in additional milk.
  • When the cereal has cooked into a thick consistency (like thick applesauce) turn the heat to low.
  • Stir in the pumpkin over low heat.
  • Turn off the heat and spoon cereal into bowls. Add a dash of cinnamon and a splash of milk on top, if you like.

Notes

  • Add additional toppings if you like (dried or fresh fruit or a sprinkle of coconut chips).
