Grumpy’s 7-Grain Breakfast Cereal

A hearty breakfast with a little family history behind it.

Grumpy’s Cereal started with my dad and the kind of simple, hearty hot cereal I remember as old-fashioned comfort food. I loved the idea enough that I began making my own version, blending grains and seeds together and even packaging Grumpy’s Old-Fashioned Cereal as gifts for family and friends.

When I found this organic 7-grain cereal, it immediately reminded me of Grumpy’s.

This version combines organic wheat, rye, steel-cut oats, barley, corn, millet, and flaxseed. It cooks into a warm, creamy cereal with a pleasant chew from the cracked grains—the kind of uncomplicated breakfast that deserves a good pour of Vermont maple syrup on top.

Add berries, brown sugar, nuts, cream, or keep it simple with maple syrup.

How to Prepare

Combine 1 part cereal with 4 parts boiling water. Simmer for 20–30 minutes, or prepare overnight in a slow cooker for an easy morning breakfast.

Ingredients

Organic wheat, organic rye, organic steel-cut oats, organic barley, organic corn, organic millet, and organic flaxseeds.
