WOW - I love this. It is perfect for us and our family. Thank you. I follow you faithfully. For the past 5 years, I have studied nutrition and the effects of processed foods at length as I have been fighting cancer. I concur with everything you say. My cancer was late stage and the prognosis was very poor. Upon the diagnosis and after chemo and surgery, I switched to a whole new diet with organic foods, kefir, sourdough bread, whole grains, clean fruits and veggies, etc. I avoid processed foods, bad oils, genetically modified foods etc. It has now been 5 years and I am in remission. This is miraculous. I truly believe that my diet is helping. Keep up the good work. You inspire and help so many.
Oh Lisa!! I am so happy to hear this. I have more homemade cereal videos coming up over the next few months that I think you will also enjoy! Stay tuned! ;-) Love, Mary
This was my first attempt at sprouting, dehydrating, and milling sprouted grain, not to mention making flaked cereal Everything went very well. I started with 3 cups of hard white wheat berries. When I reached the milling stage, 3 cups of unsprouted wheat berries (once sprouted and dehydrated) yielded 2 cups of flour after milling. I used a stand mixer grain mill attachment, set on the finest setting. Even on the fine setting, the flour is slightly more coarse than store-bought whole grain flour. Next, I had to improvise a bit on mixing the cereal dough. I cut your recipe in half, so I added 1 cup of store-bought whole wheat flour to the 2 cups of sprouted wheat flour. I did not have enough honey, so I added what I had on hand--a large pinch of brown sugar. Additionally, I only had 2% milk and half the yogurt needed. I compensated (guessing) by adding heavy whipping cream). Once mixed, the dough seemed to be the right hydration. Then, I elected to go with the longer, refrigerator, absorption stage, since I was a short on the yogurt. Finally, I made a real effort to roll the dough very thin. The results paid off in a wheat flakes cereal that tasted just terrific and with all the crunch you could want. Final notes: while process is quite an endeavor, next time I am going to scale everything up and plan on baking in stages THANKS MARY!
I’ve watched dozens of your videos. I’ve wondered how you learned so much about nutrition. Have you taken classes or just a lot of research. My mind is completely on overload trying to retain much of your valuable information.
I been looking for cereal without chemicals for years. I decided to check RU-vid. And I found you. I was so happy. I just want some cereal I can add fruit and clusters to.
Great video! I enjoy learning about the science and chemistry of food - phylic acid and fermentation. I watched another video on RU-vid that sourced studies which show that vinegars reduce the glycemic index of sugars and help to regulate insulin in healthy people so this process probably helps with that too, making this cereal much healthier than store bought. **Walking away to get out the rolled oats, stevia, and Greek yogurt.** Thank you Mary!😂
Is there anything you cant do Mary!lol.This is so interesting.Your knowledge is never ending and I'm so thankful.Im learning so much.God bless you for sharing all of this information.I love you sweet Mary.🤗♥️🙏
This is astonishing. ✨🙉✨ Somehow I landed at EXACTLY the kind of video I'd wanted to find (on a total long shot, just searched for 'make your own dry cereal') -- hoping to make cereal that avoids the extrusion process, and is more nutrient-dense. ~ ~And here you are, the angel of my dry cereal dreams!! How did this even happen~?? 😍 Thank you for being here, and for making this video! Dang, you bet I'm subscribing!! 😸 (--man, and now you're talking about phytic acid & all, even? How did this happen? Where did you come from? 🤗)
Whaaaat?!😲 Cereal?! That's crazy! Crazy amazing! 😁 I like to munch on cereal or granola in front of the TV so I'll be giving this a try. Thank you, Mary!💜
Mary, week after week you amaze me. I'm always so excited when I see a video pop up for me to watch, my mornings with Mary. I've made granola before, but flaked cereal is something else, never in a my life time would I have thought of that. I just bought a box of raisin bran, what kind of flour/base would I do for that? Just the same recipe here, then add raisins. I don't know exactly how you come up with this stuff but I love it! I can't bear the day you can't think of something new, we will all be disappointed. Hopefully that day will never come. 😉 Your sister from another mother, Charlotte
Hi Charlotte, great idea! Yes, you can make bran flakes. What you want to do is for every 2 cups of flour and one cup of bran. So if you make my whole recipe that would mean 4 cups of flour and 2 cups of bran. That will make bran flakes. Keep me posted on how it turns out. And thank you so much for all the kind words!Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
Mary, you're the only one I know who knows more about healthful cooking than I. Thank you SO much for this recipe. I love my Ancient Grains cereal but couldn't rationalize forking out the money any more. Now I can gather my own combination of ancient grains and make my own. Merry Christmas, Mary.
Hi Julian, You are very generous but I suspect you are more knowledgeable than me about healthful cooking. So glad you're here!! Merry Christmas!! Love, Mary
My kids were so happy this showed up in my RU-vid feed. We don't eat a lot of cereal. It is so expensive and we finally found Azure which is a great place to get cheap gluten free flours. We are tried this with Masa Harina (kinda like corn flour) and a 1/4 cup coconut sugar. It was tasty. We also tried Buckwheat but it took a lot of modifications like 2 more cups and 1 cup of coconut. It came out very dense, a real arm workout. I think I'm going to have to continue to modify it, but it was tasty. Thanks Mary!
Thank you so much Mary for this super recipe. I did not even think that you could do it at home. You are great making everything at home. I have a question can I use almond flour to do this recipe or it will not work? I love everything you do.👍👍❤❤❤
Hi Mary and Friends Merry Christmas! If you like it less crunchy the thinner you roll the dough the crisper it will be. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us💞
Wow, I love your video's but don't always learn alot, but this was brand new for me!!! Thank you thank you! I think I will try making graham cracker cereal!
I used to make homemade Grape Nuts to eat with yogurt when my kids were small. I hope to give this a try when Christmas baking is over with. Thank you!
Mary you are such a blessing! I have been wanting to do this for a while now. Store bought cereal is so processed! With all the milk we have cereal is almost a necessity lol! I just wasn’t comfortable with the over processing. Loved how you explained phytic acid🤗. I will be making this for sure! Thank you so much for all you do! God bless you sweet friend!❤️
Hi Jackie!! Thank you so much for the kind words!! This is such a fun project and it turns out so tasty and crunchy!! Hope you are all doing well!! Love, Mary
Thanks Mary... Just the kick in the butt I needed.... I've been thinking of making cereal again as I used to make for my daughter as she could not have processed food or sugar. I used to add cocoa and or extracts as well.
I made your crock pot bone broth this weekend and it was deliciously gelatinous! I also just downloaded your 36 page prepping document! Great information! Thank you!! Do you have a playlist on how to transition to traditional foods *for beginners*?? Thanks so much!!
This is wonderful! Do you know how to make frosted corn flakes? They are my favorite cereal in the world. Who would think with all the cereal choices frosted cornflakes would be my favorite! So weird!!!
You can make these using cornmeal but frosting...hmmm...that I'm not sure about. Might just have to give a sprinkling of your favorite sweetener! Love, Mary
Hi Mary, this is so exciting! I gave up my favorite packaged wheat flakes many years ago because of preservatives. I turned to oatmeal but often miss the crunchy cereal which I enjoyed with cold milk and fruits. I use a local long-grain wheat variety and will certainly try making this. Thanks! Lajo
Hello friend, Last summer my TV was blown out in a lightening storm. Not being able to replace it yet, I turned to you tube like never before and the ads were driving me nuts. I broke down and got the Premium for 11 a month. I am saving $ because I don't have to pay an expensive dish bill and watching you tube ad free is now a wonderful experience.😄❤️🍏
Hi Mary ! another great video. I wanted to ask about soaking, just to be sure. Grains, nuts, beans & seeds, so i guess there is really no need ??? Please let me know. Thanks for all you do !
OH MARY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS , IF YOU DON'T MIND. CAN I STORE RAISINS IN THE FRIDGE TO MAKE MY OWN RAISIN BRAN ? HOW DO I MAKE THE BRAN OR FLAKES ?
Hi Jeni, Thank YOU! And those are great questions. Yes, you can store this in the fridge and yes you can make raisin bran. Adjust the recipe to 4 cups of whole wheat flour and 2 cups of wheat bran. Once baked and broken into pieces, mix in your raisins and you're all set! Love, Mary
I am always amazed at how God knew exactly how to create food to bless our bodies that He created. So thankful this channel is helping many of us getting back to basics!
Mary you are so wonderful and knowledgeable. You have taught me a lot. Thank you. Can i make these with no yogurt? Just use water and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar?
I make a biscuit/cookie thing and for flavoring I use a couple packets of Orange crush drink mix . That's why I'm here I want to make a cereal with the orange or 7up mix . Orange is best . I use it to make a oatmeal just a bowl of oatmeal ad a 1/2 packet of the orange crush mix then ad enough water to wet all the oatmeal plus more a wet loose mix refrigerate over night and you have a extremely sweet breakfast food. I have a mother with later stage dementia and getting her to eat enough is a challenge . Basically all she will eat is cheeseburgers and oatmeal or anything sweet. Picture a finicky 5 year old. She would gladly eat the oatmeal 3 time.s a day every day. But we went through a rough year or so oatmeal was sometimes difficult to find. I paid $9!for a tube of oatmeal. But I need a backup if oatmeal becomes difficult to find again.
I LOVE bran cereal as a topping for whole yogurt that I've swirled some of my own jam into. I wonder if you have a suggestion for turning this into bran cereal flakes?
Love your videos. Can I use almond milk to replace full fat milk? Also, looking back to some of the no-knead breads, can I make them with gluten-free flour?
Yes, you can use almond milk to replace the full fat milk but add a bit of lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar. As to the no knead breads - I have never made them with gluten free flour so I can't say. Love, Mary
Mary, I really love your videos, and think you are a great teacher! Thank you. My only negative feedback (constructive criticism) is that you have far too many ads, and it's very disruptive. I have ADHD, and I have an incredibly hard time with all the disruptions. I know you're trying to make money off of this (good for you! Wish I could, too!) but I'd much rather support you on Patreon or another subscriber platform and have access to uninterrupted videos. Something I hope you will consider! Thank you. ❤️
Hi Greta, Thank you so much for the kind words. I always had picked no Midroll ads in my videos but then in late July, RU-vid change their policy and put Midroll ads automatically in every video over eight minutes. I gather that there is some way to manually change this but I am still learning...and I have over 300+ videos so you can imagine the daunting job ahead of me. Thank you so much for mentioning the other options. I’ll have to look into those. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Hi Mary, love this video! If I wanted to add bran would that be what is left when I sieve part of my ehole wheat flour to make my baked goods lighter? Thanks! God bless
Hi Melody, Yes - you are sifting out bran and germ and both can be added to the flour to make a "bran" cereal. For every two cups of whole grain flour, add 1 cups of what you have sifted out from other flour. So for this recipe if you use all 6 cups of flour, you would decrease the flour to 4 cups and add 2 cups of your siftings (bran and germ) and you will make a nice bran cereal. Love, Mary
This definitely looks like something worth doing. I admit that I would have gotten less lost (yeah, my fault) if all of the alternatives were skipped and a straight run through of the basic recipe was done. At the end, you could go back and cover what the alternatives were. I'm thinking of trying this a combination of almond flour and coconut flour (keto breakfast cereal).
Thank you Sweet Mary! I’m guessing this tastes a bit like Wheaties? Well an unsweetened version. It seems as if the cinnamon in this is extremely mild. As someone who has recently become pre-diabetic and who is missing cinnamon cereals I presume I can add considerably more cinnamon? Do you know how long the cereal might last if kept in an airtight container? Or should the cereal be kept in the fridge since it doesn’t have preservatives?
Great question. I definitely think you can add more cinnamon. This stays fresh in an airtight container for about 2 weeks or so but you can certainly put it in the fridge to extend its shelf life. Love, Mary
Thank you for this video. What I have done in the past is make a quick bread recipe, cook it, then crumble it then cook it till dry like you we have enjoyed it but this is a sounds fantastic and will be getting this mixed up today and cooked tomorrow.
Hi Mary, Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Can I put cocoa powder in the flour mixture for make for my kids? They love chocolate cereals but I don't buy frequently because the store bought isn't healthy. 😘
Hello, I'm certainly not Mary, but I believe that 100 percent cacao or cocoa powder is fine, it's the amount of sugar needed to sweeten it to make it edible that is the problem. Perhaps use sucanat, date sugar, coconut sugar, or honey or molasses or Stevia. You would still have sugar calories but at least you would get some healthy vitamins and minerals along with the chocolate flavor😇💕
Thank you Mary for your kindness, patience and knowledge. You certainly are extremely skilled Chef. I was so surprised to learn how to make cereal. December is a busy time in my kitchen. I love making Christmas cookies and special homemade treats that I can gift. I also just watched your podcast on making crackers. I will make the crackers first and cereal next month. You are an inspiration to your sweet nest of followers!
