Hearty Breakfast

There's a chill to our mornings and that means autumn is upon us and winter will be settling in soon. In the hopes of replacing Cheerios I have been exploring warm breakfasts. This morning I made up a super healthy, anti-oxidant rich and very tasty breakfast that my notoriously picky toddler ate up. I used organic, no sugar added blueberry juice and just plain old Malt O' Meal. I think I'll cut the portions in half next time in order to decrease the cooking time and finished portion.

1/2 Cup blueberry juice
1 1/2 Tbl Malt O' Meal

Basically just follow the instructions on the box from here. I microwaved it for 1 minute, stirred, then continued the microwave then stir in 30 second increments. I stirred in an ice cube to cool it and it was a nice, smooth consistency. It had natural sugars from the juice for sweetness so I didn't even have to bury it in brown sugar! In addition, Malt O' Meal is pretty cheap so it helps to offset the relatively high cost of juice.
Let me know how you and your wee ones like it.
