homemade cereal

   So, when I did the 3 day cleanse this last weekend I made my own almond milk. After I made the almond milk I had left over almond pulp. I thought about feeding it to our chicken, but then I decided to google recipes for leftover almond pulp to see if there was a way to use it in the house instead.
   I looked through a few recipes, but a lot of them were raw and required a dehydrator, which I don't have, or they required ingredients that I didn't have. Then I found this recipe. It looked delicious and seemed simple enough. I was out of coconut, but didn't mind going out to get some because I'm quite partial to it.
   I waited until Sunday night to make this, because I couldn't eat it while doing the cleanse and I just knew it was going to be super yummy. So, here's what I did...


Ingredients:
1 cup packed almond pulp
3/4 cup dried coconut flakes (that I pulsed in my blendtec 'til they were more like shredded)
2/3 cup oat flour (oatmeal pulsed in blendtec until it's flour)
1/3 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt

Directions:
Mix everything together in a big bowl.
Spread mixture out into a lined pan, I used wax paper.
Put in oven on lowest setting over night.
  

   My oven's lowest setting is 170. I put it in about 8:15pm and had hubby turn the oven off when he got up in the morning, about 5am. The cereal came out nice and crunchy and yummyliscious!!! I ate it for breakfast yesterday and today using the almond milk, instead of cow's milk. My oldest daughter is the only kid that's tasted it and she really likes it. She wasn't a huge fan of the almond milk though. That's alright by me, just means I get to be the one to drink it all!

The almond pulp.

Everything all mixed together.

I just plopped it all in the pan and smoothed it out with my hands.

Then I used my pizza cutter to cut it into little squares.

When it was done i popped the little squares into a tupperware.

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
