Cinnamon crunch cereal

I made my own cereal!

I’ve been making muesli for years, but that’s simple

This was crunchy, cereal cereal!!

It could also be a nice cracker

Simple to make & ingredients can be added/dropped (e.g. cinnamon!)

*Recipe – Cinnamon crunch cereal

Cereal

1 cup flour (I used wholemeal)

1/8 – ¼ cup sugar (I think midway between the 2 is the ‘sweet spot’)

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp baking powder

¼ cup milk

2 Tbs melted butter

1 tsp vanilla

Topping (optional)

Spread with butter or honey

Sprinkle sugar or cinnamon or both (to taste) (approx. ½ Tbs sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon)

Method

Heat oven to 175°

Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking powder for the cereal

Add milk, butter and vanilla and stir to form a dough

Roll between silicon sheets or baking paper until it’s super thin (it puffs up)

Remove the top sheet and cut dough into small squares (I used a pizza wheel)

Bake for 12+ minutes until browning (I found some took a lot longer so took them out in batches)

Cool on a rack

If adding a topping, brush with butter or honey. Sprinkle sugar/cinnamon

They get crispier with time

Store in an airtight container

Eat as crackers or add milk to eat as cereal
