Yields: 2 servings
PREP 5 minutes
COOK 15 minutes
TOTAL 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS
  

  • cups milk
  • ½ cup bulgur fine or medium
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 4 segments orange
  • 2 tablespoons quince diced
  • 1 tablespoon dried apricot diced
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

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.
