Homemade Oat Flakes Cereal Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C.
• Mix all ingredients together and spread onto a large shallow baking pan.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and crunchy.
• Leave to cool then break up into clumps and serve.
• *This mixture will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, stored in a cool dry place.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix oats, wheat germ, and wheat bran.
• In a medium bowl, blend brown sugar, vegetable oil, honey, and water. Mix in vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir the brown sugar mixture into the oat mixture until evenly moist, and transfer to a large, shallow baking dish.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until lightly brown. Mix dates, pecans, and coconut into the dish, and continue baking about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, and store in airtight containers.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly with oil or baking spray.
• Whisk 1 cup of the cornmeal with the sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla extract and 3/4 cup water, a little at a time, stirring until the batter is smooth and thin. If it's too dry, add additional water. You want something the consistency of pancake batter.
• Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. (It won't reach the edges, but that's OK. You want a nice thin layer, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.)
• Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal with 1 teaspoon water and mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs; add an additional teaspoon or 2 of water, if too dry.
• Sprinkle the top of the batter with the cornmeal crumbs (this will help give it a little extra crunchy texture).
• Bake on the center rack, keeping a close eye on it, until the dough has dried out and cracked, 10 to 15 minutes. You're looking for a cracked arid-desert landscape look to it.
• Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Let the baking sheet cool, then use your hands to tear and crack the dough into small flakes. Return to the oven and bake on the center rack until the pieces are toasted, crisp, and golden, about 45 minutes.
• Let cool completely before serving with milk or as you would any cereal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks.
