I hope you find it useful, Tashja. I'm getting really into cooking now and I think it's useful for veggies (and non veggies who like the odd veggie meal) to share ideas, especially if (like me) we grew up with meat and 2 veg.

Tashja

We are not veggies but do have the odd veggie meal.

To be honest with you I didn't know there were so many differant recipies to try !!! Think it will be a lot more then the odd meal now.

Well done on such great threads !!!

Enjoy your holiday !!

Breakfast cereal adapted from More With Less cookbook

3 cups of porridge oats
1 cup wholemeal flour
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup grated coconut

Spread out in a large, greased baking dish. Mix in, to a total of one full cup:

honey, treacle, syrup.

Bake for 30 to 60 minutes, stirring often without allowing to brown.
.

am i right in thinking that this will form cluster type things?

Gingham_Ribbon

Yes. It depends how often you stir it etc I think. And whether you leave it to cool then break it up or stir it as it's cooling. My first batch was very crunchy in lumps. The second I stirred more and cooked more slowly and it has smaller lumps that are less hard.

I'm completely hooked and am taking some on holiday with us. I just don't feel like bought cereal at the moment.

I don't know if you will get a chance to answer this before you go but I have just had a look at the company you use for your vegetable/fruit deliveries and they deliver to my area !!

In the fruit boxes that say for 3/4 people does that mean you get 4 of each fruit (i.e. 4x apples, 4x Kiwis) or do you get more or less then this.

I am just trying to weigh up the cost.

Have a great holiday and I am going to try some of the recipies on your thread !!!

Hi, I've used a few veg box delivery companies, and Farmaround is definitely the best value, and really good quality stuff. Not sure where you are, but Farmaround North have dropped a flyer through my door for a reduction for 4 weeks for new customers. Drop me a PM if you'd like details.

Gingham - enjoy your break - you deserve it!

cheers GR, will have to try that when i exhaust the big box of crunchy nut flakes i just bought

is the flour really necessary? seems quite unusual mixed in with the oats, seeds and coconut. rice crispies or nuts or something more edible in its own right would seem like a more natural inclusion to me?

Thanks for the recipe alwaysonthego.

Pavlov's dog, I can't taste the flour in it to be honest and I don't think it's necessary. You can add nuts, wheatgerm, milk powder...anything you fancy I think. I've been looking at the other cereal recipes in the More With Less cookbook and I am all set to try some others. I think you can just throw in what you have and see what happens!
