Pumpkin-Maple Cream of Wheat. No lumps.

My husband doesn't go for hot cereal unless it's oatmeal. Loves it. Cream of Wheat is definitely not on his list. Hates lumps. And with my skills, the Cream of Wheat does tend to get lumpy sometimes. Not this time, I was careful! Besides, I like the lumps. I like Cream of Wheat and I like pumpkin. So when I saw the recipe for Pumpkin-Maple Breakfast Pudding at Faith's blog, An Edible Mosaic, I had to try it. Made me think of a sort of pumpkin pie in a bowl for breakfast. I even had the maple sugar on hand. One of those purchases I had no clue what to do with it, had to have it, and it came in really handy!


 


You can find the recipe for Pumpkin-Maple Pudding at An Edible Mosaic.
I used the Cream of Wheat instead of semolina and  I garnished with granola and walnuts for added flavor and texture.

    I am with your husband, no Cream of Wheat for me. I just remember my mother making me eat it as a kid. Love the flavors on this one. I've never seen sugar like this before. Hope you're having a great weekend.

    I've always avoided Cream of Wheat - the 'other' hot cereal of my childhood, but this intrigued me.

    Sorry - but I hate oatmeal, unless it's a cookie! Never have been a fan of hot cereal, must be a chilhood nightmare somewhere in there! It looks good, glad it was a hit for the family. Me, YOU or FF

    This breakfast dish looks delicious. I often alternate between cream of wheat, oatmeal and red river cereal.

    That sounds so good! Love the nuts on top, I never eat oatmeal or cereal without tossing in a handful of nuts. And, I am with you, I like the lumps.
