Warm Rice Cereal with Blueberries

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole grain rice cereal
• 1½ cups almond milk
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon chopped toasted almonds
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• Pinch of sea salt

Method

1. 1Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it steams gently but does not boil.
2. 2Stir in the rice cereal and sea salt, then cover and let it sit off the heat for three minutes to allow the flakes to soften completely.
3. 3In a small bowl, mash half of the fresh blueberries with a fork to release their juices and skins.
4. 4Add the muddled blueberries, whole blueberries, maple syrup, and cinnamon to the saucepan with the rice mixture.
5. 5Stir gently to combine everything, ensuring the blueberry juice creates a marbled effect throughout the warm cereal.
6. 6Pour the mixture into serving bowls and sprinkle with the toasted almonds and chia seeds immediately before eating.
7. 7Serve while the cereal is still hot to maintain the contrast between the warm grains and the cool fruit pieces.
