Make Your Own Cracklin' Oat Bran Cereal
Author: Laura
Serves: 10-12 cups
- 4½ cups rolled oats (ground in the blender to become flour*)
- 1 cup whole grain flour (I used freshly ground wheat, but you can use rice, sorgham, or another gf option if you like.)
- ½ cup arrowroot powder
- 2 cups unsweetened finely shredded coconut
- 3-5 teaspoons cinnamon (the cinnamon is what makes this really yummy!)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ cup sugar of choice (sucanat, coconut palm sugar, or brown sugar)
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 4 egg whites, whisked to frothy**
- Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Add all wet ingredients to the dry ingredients at the same time, mixing until combined. Mixture will resemble large crumbs.
- Crumble the mixture onto two baking sheets or Pyrex casserole dishes.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-40 minutes, stirring and breaking up large chunks every 10 minutes. (Baking time varies as every oven is different.)
- Once cereal is golden brown, turn off oven but leave the cereal in the oven to crisp up.
