Ingredients

  • 1 cup Tom Brown Cereal (roasted corn, millet, sorghum, soybeans)
  • 2 cups Water or Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons Sunflower Seed Butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sugar or Honey (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of Water or Milk with the 1/4 teaspoon Salt.
  2. 2Place the saucepan over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C) and bring the liquid to a rolling boil.
  3. 3While the liquid heats, measure out the 1 cup of Tom Brown Cereal.
  4. 4Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to low (200°F / 95°C). Gradually whisk in the 1 cup of Tom Brown Cereal, a little at a time, to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until smooth.
  5. 5Cook the cereal over low heat (200°F / 95°C), stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon, for 5 to 10 minutes. The cereal is ready when it has thickened to your desired consistency, coating the back of your spoon.
  6. 6Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of Sunflower Seed Butter until it is fully melted and incorporated into the cereal.
  7. 7Add the 1-2 tablespoons of Sugar or Honey, tasting as you go to reach your preferred sweetness. Stir well to combine.
  8. 8Serve the Tom Brown Cereal warm immediately.
