Budget-Friendly Homemade Cereal image

With the ever increasing price of store-bought cereal, I decided it was time to come up with a homemade one. You may want to add nuts or dried fruits also. Store it in an airtight container. (I keep it in the cardboard oats canister in a zip-tied bag.)

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups old fashioned oats, uncooked
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt (less if regular salt)
butter-flavor Pam cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray 10x15 jelly roll pan with butter-flavor Pam. (I also spray both bowls and the spatula I use to mix the cereal, then nothing sticks and clean up is easy.).
  • In a small bowl, mix together oil, syrup, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour over oats in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Spread evenly in the pan, and bake for 10 minutes, stir and bake 9 more minutes. (If you use a dark pan, shorten cooking time by 1 or 2 minutes.).
