A robust and healthy cereal because of the many gluten-free grains included, it will nourish and warm you on a cold winter morning. This recipe uses the Gluten-Free Cracked Grain Cereal Mix made with the Vita-Mix or another grain mill.

Small Batch (serves 2 to 3 persons):
1 cup cracked grain cereal mix
3-1/2 cups filtered water
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/3 cup raisins or date pieces (optional)

Medium Batch (serves 5 to 6 persons):
2 cups cracked grain cereal mix
7 cups filtered water
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
5 to 6 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
2/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2/3 cup raisins or date pieces (optional)

Large Batch (serves 9 to 10 persons):
3 cups cracked grain cereal mix
10-1/2 cups filtered water
2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 cup raisins or date pieces (optional)

Garnishes:
your choice of milk
drizzled raw agave, raw honey or xylitol
sliced bananas
shredded apples

Directions:

Put water, cracked grain cereal mix and cinnamon in a pot of the appropriate size. On the stove-top over high heat, and stirring constantly to prevent lumps, bring the contents to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes, until pretty thick. Add other desired ingredients, such as coconut, nuts, raisins and/or dates. Cover and let cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until quite thick and spoonable. Turn off heat.

Spoon into bowls and garnish as desired.

Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Warm up leftovers in a pot on the stove-top. Add up to a cup of filtered water. Use medium-high heat and a spatula to break up the cereal. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Turn temperature to low or off when the cereal has reached your desired temperature.
