More Breakfast Cereal--Muesli

As for breakfast cereal that I like to eat, now we're getting somewhere.  Once you've got the homemade Grape-Nuts and the homemade Wheaties, it's a cinch to put your own muesli together.
Apocalyptic Muesli
4 cups quick cooking rolled oats
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup crunchy wheat cereal
1 cup wheat flakes
1 cup dried apples, apricots, raisins, or other fruit

Mix together and put in covered container.  Most recipes I've come across say to add the fruit when you're ready to serve.  The cereal manufacturers don't seem to do that, so I don't know why we need to.  But if you want to keep your grains really dry, add the fruit when you're ready to serve.

Yeah, that was easy, too.

Homemade Wheaties

I have never, ever been a fan of Wheaties.  In fact, for most of my life, the best thing about Wheaties has been the box.  I liked that they usually had photos of great athletes.  Not that I ever paid that much attention.

But certain members of my family like Wheaties, and as I mentioned last week in the post about making Homemade Grape Nuts, I am not a morning person.  Having a little cold cereal on hand is a lifesaver. 

Homemade Wheat Flakes
2 cups coarsely ground whole wheat flour
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Mix ingredients with a spoon or fork until no lumps remain.  Pour onto cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.  Use about 2/3 cup batter on a 13x18" cookie sheet.  Tip the pan back and forth to cover the entire surface, using a spatula to spread it if necessary. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until darkened.  Break into bite-sized pieces.

Yeah, that was easy.

Taste testers comments:  The son who will eat anything says that most people want some sugar in their cereal, but he likes them just fine.
