Warm Breakfast Bowl with Mixed Berry Reduction
A hearty helping of berries is a bright and flavorful way to start your day with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. We love pairing this berry reduction with bulgur, a whole grain that is high in fiber and antioxidants. Bulgur is a nice alternative to oatmeal on days when you feel like mixing it up!
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup quick-cooking bulgur wheat or oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups frozen mixed berries like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- optional toppings: toasted walnuts
Instructions
- Combine the almond milk, bulgur wheat, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Decrease the heat to low and simmer, covered, until bulgur is tender, about 12 minutes.
- Spoon into four bowls, and lightly drizzle each portion with olive oil.
- Combine the fruit, apple juice, and maple syrup in a saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Decrease the heat to low, and simmer until fruit is slightly reduced about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Top each bowl of bulgur with berry reduction.
- Top each bowl with toasted walnuts, if desired.
