For a creamier cereal, add a splash of milk or cream after cooking. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits, such as cranberries or raisins. To add more flavor, toast the nuts in a dry skillet before adding them to the butter. This cereal can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little extra water or milk.
