Bring milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
Ask the hotline about this step!Reduce heat to low and add polenta, whisking constantly until smooth. Add almond meal and continue whisking until the polenta thickens to a creamy consistency. Add butter and whisk until it melts completely.
Ask the hotline about this step!Turn heat off and whisk in honey, blueberries, vanilla and cardamom. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or sour cream and an extra sprinkle of blueberries.
Ask the hotline about this step!I made this for breakfast this morning. Wow. is it yummy!!!! The kids couldn't get enough! Well, my wife and I couldn't either.
This is really good. Since not everyone in my household is a big fan of blueberries, I sprinkled them on top of individual servings. I encourage people to try the sour cream/creme fraiche garnish. The polenta is quite sweet without it. If you skip the garnish, you may want to cut back on the honey a little. I can also report that it reheats well in the microwave.
i made this with soy milk, and used a little less honey because i didn't have almond meal but read that i could make it using blanched almonds (1/2 c) and granulated sugar (1/2 tbsp). also awesome with strawberries. thank you for sharing!
this looks amazing!
I am eating a bowl of this right now - it is wonderful - I never would have thought to add the almond meal. Thanks for the great recipe!
Looks great, but I will try it with skim milk and without the butter, for a lower fat breakfast. The almond meal adds enough richness on its own.
As much as I love my steel cut oats in the morning, I will definitely give this a try. What a terrific idea!
Awesome Stacie - I am sure the newly arrived ChowInfant loved that you ate this, and will love to eat it himself when he is a little older, too!
Have you calculated the calories for one serving of this cereal?
Loved it. Perfect for a balmy and lazy Sunday..
