This hot cereal is loaded with texture and flavor. Top the bulgur cereal with a drizzling of maple syrup and raisins, or top with fresh blueberries or strawberries. This cereal is a nice change from oatmeal or cream of wheat.
This recipe is easily doubled for a family breakfast.

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Yield: Serves 2 to 3

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup bulgur wheat, medium grind
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups skim or 1% milk, plus more for serving
