Cream of Wheat is a North American hot cereal that I loved eating as a child. During one of my visits to Canada, I brought a box back with me, but I never finished it. I now find that eating Cream of Wheat for breakfast doesn’t keep me full, so I decided that I should use up the cereal before it goes off. Thus, I went on the search for a muffin recipe! This recipe for Cream of Wheat Berry Muffins is adapted from: Gourmandize.
A note on Cream of Wheat Alternatives:
If you can’t get a hold of the brand Cream of Wheat, look for wheat semolina porridge or semolina flour. You could also try a baby cereal made from wheat.
This is a quick and easy recipe that makes fantastic breakfast muffins. The berries are optional, but I think they add a nice flavour and beautiful jewel tones. I used a mix of frozen blueberries, cranberries, and raspberries.
