Cream of Wheat ~Banana Flavored

Starting in the fall, there are breakfast foods that make a presence on my table when it is chilly outside.  It begins - while stepping onto the cold floor I remember hot cereal exists.  This week may bring warm temperatures, but the overripe banana sitting in my fruit bowl reminded me of Banana Cream of Wheat!  It is Autumn!

Yes!  There were enough cereal granules in the Cream of Wheat box to prepare 2 servings.  The directions on the box are followed. 

However, there definitely are changes as to the ingredients.  1 overripe Banana cut into thin slices is added to the 1 quart sauce pot containing the Cream of Wheat granules.  Soy Milk rather than Whole Milk or Water is used.  1/8 teaspoon each of Cinnamon + Nutmeg is added in, also.  Turn on the Medium heat and you're on your way to start stirring!

Cream of Wheat ~Banana Flavored is great!  Calcium, Potassium + Cinnamon & Nutmeg.

Enjoy!
Yummy!

              

Banana Crumb Muffins

Articles that we read remind us that bananas are a good source of potassium. I do try to eat one every day, but it is not one of my favorite fruits. For me to enjoy eating one it cannot be green or overripe. In the warm weather they ripen too quickly! However, a nice treat to devour occasionally is a moisty, fragrant, delicious Banana Crumb Muffin (click on bolded words for recipe). It is a great way to use two overly ripened bananas. Any extra muffins can be stored in the freezer. The amount of Brown Sugar in the Topping can be reduced according to taste.

You and your family will enjoy these!
Yummy!
