I’m loving the beautiful weather. It’s weird to think last week was –4 and today will reach over 80 degrees. Warm weather does not mean I give up my beloved breakfast grain bowls; I just eat them cold! (Actually, I eat cold oatmeal in winter too. I’m strange like that.)
Today’s brekkie was a twist on my Blueberry Muffin in a Bowl.
And I ate it outside, in the sunshine!!
(Yes, I had other foods to go with my bulgur. And no, the fabric flower was not one of them.)
Magic Breakfast Pudding
(serves 1)
- 1/3 cup dry bulgur (40g) (I use light, as opposed to dark) (You can also make this pudding with oats.)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup water (240-260g) (Or more, if using oats)
- 2 tbsp (or more, if desired) nondairy creamer (I use Silk)
- toppings of choice (today I went with cacao nibs)
- optional sweetener (When I make this for others, I use 1 pack stevia or 1T sugar)
- 3 drops coconut extract… a.k.a. magic drops (with oats, I use 6 drops)
Cook your bulgur, with the salt, in the water. (I like to cook mine the day before, so breakfast comes together much more quickly.)
Here’s a good tutorial: How to Cook Bulgur.
Right before eating, add remaining ingredients and stir. I like to pulse mine in the magic bullet a few times. You could also use a blender or hand blender… or omit the blending entirely!)
Question of the Day:
What’d you have for breakfast today?
Yummy thought of the day: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip
Question about the cold oatmeal- Do you cook it and then refrigerate it overnight to get it cold? I had some cold oatmeal when I was in Guatemala and it was DELICIOUS. Made with real apples and cinnamon. I say “real” because those were fresh chunks of apple, not some dried stuff from a box. It was SO good. But it was also cold! I was served it in someone’s home and took a bite expecting it to be hot and yet it was cold. Not room temp, but actually cold. At first I found this odd, then found i really liked it. Plus the texture was a bit different, but I’m certain it was oats. I’ve tried to find a recipe for it every since I returned, but no such luck. Do you ever eat apple cinnamon oatmeal? Do you prefer rolled oats? Steel cut (still not tried these myself.) Love the blog! 🙂
Yes, I make it the night before. And I do prefer rolled, although steel-cut are good too! 🙂
I had nothing.
Bad I know but I’m sick and my appetite’s way off.
Essentially all I’ve eaten for four days is soup…
Katie or anyone??? Does anyone know where I can buy Archer Farms Coconut Flavoring? I live in Ireland but will be coming to the states (Naples, Fl) in ten days. Desperate to find it! Thank you!
