Cream of wheat was one of my favorite breakfasts growing up. As a kid, I would cover mine in brown sugar. Now I just lightly top it with something a little bit more natural: maple syrup. And homemade cream of wheat tastes incredible with some fresh, raw cream. You can add in any toppings you wish from fresh fruit to coconut chips. In the picture above, I used cranberries for a pop of color. I also make homemade cream of wheat with einkorn flour, however this recipe can be made with any type of flour. You can make homemade cream of wheat in a blender, food processor, or grain mill.
If you want to make your cream of wheat more nutritious, you can sprout the wheat berries ahead of time. Grains contain antinutrients that make it more difficult to absorb nutrients in food. I will have a tutorial on how to sprout grains soon, so stay tuned!
