You don’t need fancy ingredients to make something satisfying, as cream of wheat or semolina porridge shows. It only takes a few minutes to cook and always comes out with a creamy, silky-smooth texture. You only need milk, semolina, and a little sugar or honey. I like to top mine with sliced bananas or berries, which give it a fruity freshness like the Berry Lemonade Chia Pudding, or a drizzle of maple syrup for that diner-style breakfast feel.

FAQs: Cream of Wheat Recipe
What is Cream of Wheat?
Cream of Wheat is a smooth, hot cereal made from finely ground wheat semolina. When cooked with milk or water, it becomes creamy, comforting, and slightly sweet.
Can I make Cream of Wheat with water instead of milk?
Yes! Water works perfectly fine, but using milk (or half milk, half water) gives it a richer, creamier taste.
How do I keep Cream of Wheat from getting lumpy?
Always add the semolina slowly while whisking continuously into hot milk or water — this ensures a smooth, lump-free texture.
Can I make Cream of Wheat ahead of time?
Yes! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of warm milk to restore its creamy consistency.
What toppings go best with Cream of Wheat?
Try sliced bananas, berries, or nuts for texture. For a healthy twist, pair it with the Berry Lemonade Chia Pudding or the Ginger Smoothie Recipe.
Is Cream of Wheat healthy?
Yes — it’s low in fat, high in iron and calcium, and provides sustained energy. Pair it with fruit or nuts for a more balanced breakfast.
Can I make Cream of Wheat vegan?
Absolutely! Replace milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk, and use plant-based butter or coconut oil.
