10 Grain Muffins for the Win! 22

10 Grain Muffins are a great breakfast treat

A few years ago I was nominated to be a Hero of the Mill from the Bob’s Red Mill company.  This honor really means a lot to me. I eat very healthy, and try to convince my kids that they also want to eat healthy.  But, with the kids, if it does not taste delicious, they will not give it a try.
As a Hero of the Mill, I get surprise packages in the mail a few times a year. The packages are always amazing and always include things I try right away.  Often they will send me new products that they are excited to share with me.  The kids are just as happy to try the new Bob’s Red Mill products as I am.

This month’s surprise included a Thermos, a bag of Turbinado Sugar and a bag of 10 grain hot cereal. Diane just started a new school and at her new school the kids bring thermos’. Diane immediately claimed this one and it keeps her lunch hot!! What a great item.  The turbinado sugar has huge crystals and it tastes awesome.  We have tried it in coffee, tea and muffins so far.

We eat Bob’s Red Mill steel cut oats for breakfast everyday.  I think we have eaten those for at least 15 years now.  But, we have never tried a 10 grain hot cereal before and wow, it was so delicious.  A nice change of pace.  You can make it before you go to bed in a thermos, then grab it and go off on your day with a hot breakfast at your fingertips.  Ten different grains are included in this mix:
*Whole Grain Wheat
*Whole Grain Rye
*Corn Grits
*Whole Grain Triticale
*Whole Grain Oats
*Soy Beans
*Whole Grain Millet
*Barley
*Whole Grain Brown Rice
*Oat Bran
*Flaxseed Meal

If you want to have a simple easy to make breakfast, try this 10 grain cereal on a cold winter morning, it really is so easy. Or, you can use the cereal in a filling 10 grain muffin.  We have made this recipe twice and the muffins are gone in minutes.  Perfect for an on the go snack, lunchbox treat, or breakfast.
