Hot Grape Nuts with Cinnamon and Sugar

For breakfast this morning I decided to make a childhood favorite of mine for my son. We used to have hot grape nuts quite a bit when I was kid living in New Hampshire. It was the best thing on those cold winter mornings when I was being awoken at 5 am. My mother would always have breakfast ready for us.

This morning was one of those mornings in my house with my old children. I woke up at 6:30 am and woke my son up with the smell of some hot grape nuts with a bit of twist to them. This was something my mother never did. I decided to add a bit of sugar and cinnamon to it. Not much but just enough to add to the flavor and the smell.

Ingredients:

1 Cup of Grape Nuts
1 Tbsp of Butter
1 Cup of Milk (maybe a little more or less)
1/4 tsp of Cinnamon
1/2 tsp of Sugar

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil then simmer and continue to stir till creamy or how you want them. Kids will enjoy it and its high in fiber as well. Very filling till lunch. Great for after runs or workouts as well.

Serves 2
