HOMEMADE WHEAT FLAKES CEREAL



Homemade Wheat Flakes Cereal image

I absolutely love cereal and it can be really fun to make your own - plus it's a great project with kids because they can flavor the flakes exactly the way they like. When spreading out the batter, remember that the thinner you spread, the crunchier and flakier the flakes will be!

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Canola or vegetable oil baking spray, for the baking sheet
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup water, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.
  • Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Mix the honey and vanilla with the water in a liquid measuring cup, then slowly pour the liquid in a stream into the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes a pourable batter (like a thin pancake batter); add more or less water as necessary. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, then use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly all the way to the edges, smoothing the top so that it is quite thin (you can also use a rolling pin and roll the batter out between two sheets of parchment paper). It should be no more than 1/4 inch thick.
  • Bake until the top is dry and begins to crack, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool until it is cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
  • Break the baked layer into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces. Spread the broken pieces evenly on the same baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through and redistributing on the baking sheet, until the flakes are dried and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely. The cereal can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wheat berries: Look for hard red wheat berries, which are the best type for making cereal.
  • Soak the wheat berries overnight: This will help to soften them and make them easier to cook.
  • Use a slow cooker or pressure cooker: These appliances make it easy to cook wheat berries without having to babysit them.
  • Add flavorings to your cereal: You can add things like cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, or honey to taste.
  • Serve your cereal with your favorite toppings: This could include things like milk, yogurt, fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Making your own ground wheat breakfast cereal is a great way to enjoy a healthy and delicious breakfast. It's also a great way to save money and reduce your environmental impact. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own ground wheat breakfast cereal at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
