½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or agave syrup

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Heat the milk: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling.
Add the bulgur and cinnamon: Stir in the bulgur and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook the bulgur: Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let the bulgur simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and has absorbed most of the milk. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the bulgur from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add the sweetener: Stir in the honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Let it sit: Remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let it sit for about 5 minutes so that the bulgur can absorb any remaining liquid and become more flavorful.
Serve: Pour the bulgur into breakfast bowls. Top with your favorite fruits or nuts. Enjoy while it's warm.

Notes

You can have the leftovers next morning. Just heat it a bit and top with your favorite fruit.
