    Are you sick of oats? I don’t think I’ll ever be, but it is still nice to switch up my grains in the morning. Polenta cooked with nondairy milk is extra creamy and goes wonderfully with warmed berries. Extra points for keeping some Simple Cashew Cream (recipe below) on hand to dollop onto this delicious breakfast.
    Author: Jackie Sobon
    Recipe type: Breakfast
    Cuisine: Italian
    Serves: 4 servings
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups (470 ml) unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage
    • 1 cup (235 ml) water
    • 1 cup (140 g) polenta grits
    • ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
    • Pinch salt
    For the Topping
    • 1 cup (145 g) fresh blueberries
    • 1 cup (140 g) fresh blackberries
    • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
    • ¼ cup (60 ml) Simple Cashew Cream (recipe below; omit for nut-free)
    Instructions
    1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring the nondairy milk and water to a boil. Stir in the polenta grits, and adjust the heat to medium-low. Cook—covered but vented, stirring occasionally—for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the polenta is creamy. Stir in the maple syrup, and add salt to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
    2. While the polenta is cooking, warm the blueberries, blackberries, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, adjust the heat to medium-low, and cook until the berries start to break down, about 10 minutes. Lightly mash the berries if they are not breaking apart.
    3. Divide the creamy polenta between 4 bowls, and top each with some berry mixture. Dollop 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of Simple Cashew Cream on top of each bowl (if using), and serve warm.
    Notes
    Note: If you do not have fresh berries on hand, frozen will also work. You may have to cook them longer because they retain more water.

    You can't get more basic than this cashew cream, or else you'd just have water. This cream can make dishes instantly luscious and it is so versatile!
    Author: Jackie Sobon
    Serves: Approximately 10 ounces (300 ml)
    Ingredients
    • 1 cup (140 g) raw cashews
    • ⅓ – ½ cup (80–120 ml) water
    • Pinch salt
    Instructions
    1. Soak cashews in boiling hot water for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse cashews, then place them in blender with ⅓ cup (80 ml) water, to start, plus salt. Blend until completely smooth, adding more water if your blender is struggling.
    2. Refrigerate until ready to use, it will continue to thicken as it cools. Keeps for 7 to 10 days in refrigerator.
