Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (30g) cereal of your choice (plain cornflakes or lightly sweetened oats recommended)
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk preferred, 2% or almond milk as alternatives)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Measure the cereal and milk. Pour 1 cup (30g) of your chosen cereal into a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup (240ml) of milk.
- Add optional flavorings: drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend lightly using an immersion blender or regular blender for about 20 seconds until slightly thickened and velvety. Avoid overblending to keep some crunch.
- Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the cereal to soak and meld with the milk.
- Give it a quick stir before serving. Adjust texture by adding more milk if too thick or more cereal if too thin, then let rest a bit longer.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or nuts.
Notes
Blend in short bursts to avoid turning cereal mushy. Use cold milk for best texture. Adding a pinch of salt enhances flavor. Prepare cereal and milk the night before without blending for quicker mornings. Garnish with fresh fruit or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
