In a medium saucepan, combine bulgur, 1 cup of milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon; bring to a boil, then quickly reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring regularly, adding more milk when it becomes too thick. At 12 minutes, test for doneness. Continue stirring until cooked to your preferred texture and thickness, from slightly chewy to quite soft. Cereal will continue to thicken when removed from heat. Split into two bowls and add toppings. Serve hot.
