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!

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!
