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
Looks yummy! My post-workout (because it’s a holiday and I didn’t want to run in the cold) breakfast this morning was a sliced frozen banana, some frozen blueberries, and a sprinkle of Kamut flakes topped with some soy milk. Frozen fruit + unsweetened soy milk is one of my favourite breakfasts, even in winter. Weird, I know. 😉
We can be weird together; you with your frozen fruit, and me with my cold oats ;).
Mmmm- frozen bananas are sooo good! I’ve never tried frozen blueberries, but frozen blackberries are pretty yummy, so I might have to try blueberries soon. 🙂
I had a protein shake: almond milk, protein powder, scoop of PB, chia seeds, 1/2 banana and ice!
I wish my hair would grow nice and long like yours — I have to keep mine shoulder length or so or it looks very thin and scraggly 🙁
lol I feel like mine looks scraggly! But maybe that’s because I compare it to my sister who has three times the amount of hair of anyone else I know! (Of course, it comes at a price: it takes her 40 minutes to blow it dry!)
I have always wanted super thick long hair — I think the one way that will ever happen is if I get a wig!
Ok, honestly? I’ve thought about it… I even got that Paris Hilton bandit thing. Word of advice: don’t get it! lol it looks so bad!
I had banana and cocoa almond pancakes… I actually wasnt a fan though! So i also had half of a bagel with some better n peanut butter!
This morning I had my favorite! Spiced Apple Pie Oats! 😀 I need to give bulgar a try! It sounds delicious!
I kept it simple this am: cereal and soymilk. With a few banana slices :).
i have never had bulger for breakfast!
that looks so good!! i need to try that! nom
Cinnamon apple oats! I love them!
The coconut extract sounds ah-mazing!
I had a microwave bean brownie and mocha yogurt for breakfast. I topped my brownie with banana “butter” inspired by your recipe!
Aww yay times a million!
I had compound breakfast; I went crazy with the homemade larabar recipes (when I’m bored, I either eat, cook, or read fanfiction), so since I had so many of those, I had a cookie dough one, followed by an actual jumbo cinnamon roll, and jasmine oolong about half an hour later. I felt so guilty about it that I tried the treadmill in intervals, and felt like my sternum was going to crack, I’m just terrible with running, lol.
I’m intrigued by the idea of a jasmine larabar! Cool!
Your breakfast looks way better than the boring one I had!
