HEAVENLY GRAINS BREAKFAST SURPRISE

HEAVENLY GRAINS BREAKFAST SURPRISE*

Ingredients:

1 cup sweet short-grain brown rice
1/2 cup barley
1/2 cup wheat berries
4-5 cups water or apple juice (enough to cover 2-in above grains)

Method:

Cook grains and water overnight in crockpot (on low for 8 hours). Finished product should be nice and soft, like oatmeal, but it has a different texture for those who don't like oatmeal.


Stir-in Ingredients:

1 large can pineapple with the juice (crushed or chunks)
5 dates
1 heaping handful of raisins
sliced bananas
Nut milk
Maple Syrup
Shredded coconut (optional)

Method

Blend pineapple and dates until nice and creamy. Stir into cooked grains. Top with remaining ingredients to your desired taste. Enjoy.

*This recipe was heaven-inspired when I had no idea what to make for breakfast, it's full of fibrous grains and to my surprise, my children loved it. Hope you do too.

Makes 4 servings
