OATMEAL SPICE CRUNCH CEREAL
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
¾ cup soy flakes
¼ cup chopped nuts
¼ cup seeds (pumpkin or sunflower are great)
3-4 packets stevia
Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger- to taste
2 tbsp. maple syrup (optional)
2 tbsp. virgin olive oil
1 cup dried fruit
How to Prepare:
Place oats, soy flakes, nuts and seeds in 9×13 pan. Toast at 350 degrees.
DO NOT brown. Stir frequently to evenly toast. You will know it is toasted by
looking at the nuts for browning. Mix spices, stevia, honey and oil together
in a microwave safe dish or small sauce pan. Warm this mixture – DO NOT
boil- mixing well. Pour over the dry ingredients. Mix together well. Return to
the oven and continue toasting, stirring frequently.
Let cool on wax paper. Mix in the dried fruit when cool. Store in a air tight
container. NOTE: This recipe is VERY flexible to accommodate your personal
tastes. Suggestions include pecans & almonds; sunflower, pumpkin & flax
seeds; raisins, apples, apricots, cranberries. Add more Stevia if desired.
Honey is a humectant (attracts moisture), so the cereal will get sticky after a
few days, especially if you add dried fruit.
