Ingredients

1 cup Quaker® Old Fashioned - Standard Grits, uncooked
2 cups water
2 cups low fat milk
3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 tbsp pure maple syrup, divided
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cayenne
1/8 tsp cardamom

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a medium saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Whisk in grits, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer. Uncover and stir every few minutes until grits are thickened and creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
While grits are cooking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place pecans in a single layer on the sheet. Toast pecans for 7-10 min stirring occasionally until just golden, being careful not to burn them.
When grits have finished cooking add 1/2 cup of the toasted pecans, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and spices. Fold to combine with a spatula. Divide among bowls and top with remaining pecans and maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
