Ingredients
- 1 cup Five-grain cereal
- 2.5 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Dried apricots, chopped
- 1 medium Apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 medium Banana, sliced
- 0.5 cup Milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the cereal.
Step 2
Stir in the five-grain cereal, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Step 3
After 5 minutes of cooking, add the chopped dried apricots and diced apple to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the fruit is evenly distributed.
Step 4
Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes or until the cereal has thickened and the grains are tender. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a splash of water or milk to adjust the consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cereal sit for 1-2 minutes to finish absorbing any remaining liquid.
Step 6
Divide the cereal between two bowls. Top each serving with sliced banana, a drizzle of honey (if desired), and a dusting of cinnamon or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Step 7
Serve warm, adding additional milk as desired for creaminess.
