The title says it short, this says it all, I want hot cereals! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, sweet, savory, wheat, oats, rice, you name it I want it! Give me your best cereal grain recipes!
I'll start with a old family classic! cracked wheat cooked with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, golden raisins and chopped pecans!
I usually just toss stuff together till it tastes good but roughly it's one cup cracked wheat to three cups boiling water and a pinch of salt. simmer in a saucepan for about 20 minutes adding cinnamon, vanilla, golden raisins, pecans, brown sugar, and milk about 5 minutes before the end to let things heat up and soften and blend. I like golden raisins but craisins, regular raisins, dried dates, dried apricots or whatever fruits you want, it's all good. Awesome on a cold morning with a nice hot chai.

I looked it up and technically millet is a cereal! I cook 2 parts millet with one part frozen spinach (2/3 of standard water) and when it’s nearly cooked, I take the lid off and add tomato sauce, then top with cheese before serving. I sometimes add chia seeds as well, if it needs a little thickening up.
I also love chopped green onions, tomatoes, olives, and smoked tofu in bulgur (bloomed in broth)

My fall/winter go to is steel cut oatmeal cooked in my rice cooker. Topped with Nature Valley Granola crumble, a splash of milk and a drizzle of Canadian Maple syrup. Cinnamon or fresh grated nutmeg if I want to spice it up.

Weekbix, hot water poured over the weekbix, hot milk then brown sugar and a dash of cream.
Porridge, brown sugar and all bran on top with warm milk.
Both super good buy super high calorie so I only eat it when it's summer.

Thanks! I don't have any to contribute but will definitely be trying this, sounds delicious! (Admittedly, I am high.)

Not sure if this counts, it is not really a recipe, but I put buttermilk on my cooked oatmeal. I use the thick rolled kind, microwaved 1 to 1 oats and water, 50% for 5 minutes (so it just sort of expands but does not get creamy) then top with buttermilk and maybe dried cranberries. Might be even better to toast the oats first! Just occurred to me. Mmmmmmm.
