Homemade breakfast cereal

I came across these recipes for homemade breakfast cereal so thought I'd post them and ask if anyone else has recipes for homemade b'fast cereal, either hot or cold. The one that uses up leftover bread is especially OS!

I make my own granola, but that's about it. Never have liked porridge, something about the texture turns me off.

:)
I want to move to theory. Everything works in theory.

  • Oooh yes, I've just started making own "instant" porridge mix based on one of the commercial mixed berry mixes which they stopped making.

    First I make a dried fruit mix, which I whizz up in the food processor. I think it was 375g sultanas, 100g cranberries and 100g blueberries (just because that was the size of the packets).

    I use 100g of the dried fruit mix (although any 100g of dried fruit will do) with 300g of porridge oats (also whizzed briefly to chop it up a bit), and 75g of sugar.

    I then just nuke 5 tablespoons of my porridge mix with enough milk to cover it (2 mins on 600W) and voila, instant, hot porridge goodness. I know you don't like porridge, but perhaps someone might like that recipe?

    That much lasts me a week, and I keep it in a glass airtight jar.
  • That sounds really good, Chubacheroo, even to a porridge-hater ;). I should have said that DH likes porridge, so any and all recipes welcome! :)
