5 from 1 vote

Cremita is a beloved Puerto Rican breakfast dish — a warm, creamy porridge, also known as Cream of Wheat, that’s both comforting and simple to make. Cremita (Cream of Wheat) made with freshly milled flour is one of my kids favorite breakfast staples that is simple, healthy and filling!

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup Wheat Berries (Any Variety - I used Einkorn for this recipe, but you could also use Hard Red, Hard White or Soft White)
4 cups Milk (I used Whole, Organic)

Equipment

1 Grain Mill
1 Small Pot
1 Whisk

Method

First, I used my Mockmill Pro 200 to mill the grains into flour.
Second, I added in my milk and stirred almost constantly for 6-8 minutes. It will almost feel like it's not going to get thick until it does, just keep stirring.
You can sweeten it with either a small amount of honey or brown sugar.
Once it's nice and thick and creamy, I serve it warm. I like to eat mine plain, but my kiddos all have their own versions. One likes it topped with honey and cinnamon, another with frozen blueberries and another with just honey.

Notes

For this Cremita recipe, I used Organic Einkorn Wheat Berries sourced from Azure Standard. This is easily interchangeable though, I have also used Hard Red Wheat Berries, Hard White wheat berries, and Soft white wheat berries. All of them work well with this yummy cream of wheat recipe.
