Homemade Cereal

This is a great alternative to the store bought cereals that I posted about a while back. My family loves this recipe!!

8c rolled oats
1/2c melter butter
1/2c melted coconut oil
1 1/2c whole milk yogurt, plain
2c water

1/2 raw honey or maple syrup
1 t sea salt
1 t ground cinnamon

Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Pat down and cover. Let stand on the counter for 48 hrs. (This neutralizes the oats and makes them easier to digest.)

After that 48 hrs add honey, salt, and cinnamon and mix thoroughly. Then set your oven for 170 and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread mixture out and place in oven to dry out completely. (Usually takes several hours or all night)


I love to do the drying in the oven over night b/c when we wake up in the AM we have warm cereal and it tastes just like grape nuts brand. We add raisins and milk!! YUM!!

If you try the recipe, you have to post and tell me how it turned out!!
