Warm wheat with almonds & fleur d'oranger

Versiunea in limba romana: Mic dejun sanatos si delicios: grau aromat cu fleur d'oranger si migdale

Ever since Yolanda posted on her  blog the Creamy whole grain wheat with caramelised orange peels & coconut chips recipe, I've been thinking about this delicious breakfast. Friday I finally bought whole grain wheat. My cupboard was stuffed with all kind of seeds, coconut, walnuts, almonds and fleur d'oranger.  In the evening I put the wheat in water. I fell asleep thinking of my delicious, healthy breakfast next morning...

I woke up and happy entered my kitchen. My kids welcomed me so warmly, that I started to think something happened... Actually, they made a surprize. They squeezed all the oranges and made lots and lots of fresh orange juice. All the oranges..."It's fresh, mom. It's pure vitamin C" :) 

I could not give up. The wheat was waiting nicely, but I had no oranges. My kids love citrus taste, so I replaced the oranges with lemons. Yum and fresh! 

I followed all the steps in Yolanda's recipe, but, again, my kids stepped in. They wanted to chose the seeds and nuts for their porridge, so they played with walnuts, grated apple, almonds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes and sun flower seeds. Breakfast was delicious, fresh, a bit lemony... A lot lemony :)

Full of energy, we went outside and played in the snow. Great snow fight  ♥

I'll repeat Yolanda's recipe as she posted it, with oranges. I keep thinking of caramelized orange peel... I have wheat now... I'll hide 3 oranges :)

1 cup whole grain wheat

2 lemons (juice + thinly grated zest) + 4 tbsp brown sugar + half a glass of water
3/4 cup of milk 
2 tbsp sweet cream + 1 tbsp honey + 2-3 tbsp fleur d'oranger water
1 grated apples
2-3 tbsp raw almonds (put it for 15 minutes in hot water, then take the soft brown shell of and crush it with the knife) 
Your choice of:  walnut, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, sun flower seeds, raisins, etc.
In the evening put the wheat in cold water. In the morning, change the water and let it stand for 1-2 hours more.

Mix the following ingredients: lemon juice and zest, brown sugar, water. Bring to boil, then let it simmer for 20 minutes. Drain the wheat, add it to the lemon syrup. Add also the milk. Let it simmer  for 10 minutes, until the wheat absorbs most of the liquid. Add the honey, fleur d'oranger water, sweet cream, almonds and grated apple. Add your choice (or all): walnuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, sun flower seeds, raisins, etc.

Delicious, lemony, wonderful breakfast!
