- 3 cups tap water
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour or Wheateena or bulgur or cracked wheat
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Measure the water into a medium sized saucepan. Carefully stir in the whole wheat flour with a whisk or a fork. Stir until the flour is dissolved in the water. Add the sugar, peanut butter and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, it will need a lot of stirring. Reduce the heat and continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes. The cereal should thicken up and smooth out. Serve in bowls with milk at the table. This recipe serves 4 or 5 people depending on appetite. Kids usually like this cereal a lot because of the peanut butter. It is a good choice for small children because it is so smooth, remember to cool it down though, so no one gets burned. Older children who are kicking the cold cereal habit are likely to enjoy this one particularly.
I have made this again and again. My kids love this! Thanks for sharing.
What an interesting recipe! I have never heard of anything like this. This other day my son was saying how he was sick of breakfast and denied absolutely everything I offered to him. So I took to the internet to see if I could find something that might intrigue him and when I can across this I knew it would be a winner. My son loves peanut butter but I have never found any good Breakfast Recipes that called for it. I work with Better Recipes so I am always looking for something unique. Needless to say, my son absolutely loved this and I have scored major brownie points!
We tried this recipe with barely flour today. Very delicious.
