Instructions: Chop enough banana to equal 1 cup. Slice remaining banana and reserve.

Combine 2 cups water, milk and salt in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to boil. Gradually whisk in cream of wheat. Continue to whisk constantly until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Stir maple syrup and chopped banana into cereal.

Divide cereal among 4 bowls. Garnish each serving with reserved sliced bananas, dried banana chips and toasted almonds and serve with milk.

NOTES : This is a nice twist on a traditional favorite. Hubby and I both enjoyed it.
