Turns out it’s not too hard at all to make your own bran flakes at home. These will add a lot of flavor to your morning cereal!
Equipment
1
Scraper
1
Baking Sheet
Ingredients
1
cup
bran
1
cup
oat flour
¼
cup
whole wheat flour
⅓
cup
peanut butter
⅓
cup
tahini
,
or use ⅔ cup peanut butter
¼
cup
sugar
½
teaspoon
baking powder
½
teaspoon
salt
⅔
cup
milk
½
cup
water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in peanut butter and tahini if you’re using tahini.
Add wet ingredients and combine well. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper in your sheet pan. Add 1/4 of the flake batter to the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap.
Use a rolling pin or something to flatten the batter out into a very thin layer over the parchment paper. You should almost be able to see through it.
Remove plastic wrap leaving just batter and parchment paper.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees and turn the pan once halfway through. Let flakes cool when they come out.
Once cool, use your fingers or a dough scraper to cut the sheet into flakes. Repeat with all the batter. You can do more than one sheet pan at a time.
Once all your flakes are made, add them all back to a sheet pan and turn the oven down to 250 degrees.
Bake the flakes a second time for 20-30 minutes at 250 degrees to further crisp them up. Stir the flakes every 10 minutes.
Store in an airtight plastic bag and serve with granola, dried fruit, and milk.
