Banana

Brown Sugar

Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the Arrowhead Mills Organic Gluten Free Rice & Shine Hot Cereal and the milk. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil, watching closely to prevent boiling over due to the milk's casein content.
2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, keeping the lid slightly ajar. Stir occasionally to prevent the cereal from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3
While the cereal is cooking, prepare the banana. You can either mash it for a smoother blend or slice it for more texture, depending on your preference. If mashing, use a fork to break it down in a cereal bowl.
4
Add the brown sugar to the banana, mixing well to distribute the sweetness evenly.
5
Once the rice cereal is cooked (it should be thick and creamy), pour it over the banana mixture in the bowl. Stir well to combine all flavors.
6
If desired, add a sprinkle of salt for balance, and stir in additional milk for your preferred consistency. Enjoy your warm and comforting bowl of Creamy Banana Rice Grits Delight!
