Breakfast Cereal Mix

In a quest to use up the store bought cereal we have on hand before I get back into making my Homemade Granola, I mixed up a batch of breakfast cereal mix using what I had on hand and more or less going with the flow of the granola mix recipe. Here’s what I came up with.

Breakfast Cereal Mix

12 cups Wheat Chex
12 cups Rice Chex
6 cups of cornflakes
1 cup sliced almonds
2 cups melted Butter or 2 cups of oil 
2  Cups Honey or other sweetener such as molasses (or less depending on how sweet you want your cereal mix to be)
1 cup flax seed
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup of coconut flakes

optional:  dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries, etc.

optional:  1 cup of wheat bran 

(really you can add other nuts or seeds to this mixture as well as other  cereals that hold up well when baked)

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. In an extra large bowl, combine the cereals, nuts, and coconut flakes thoroughly.
3. Melt the button and pour over the mixture or if using oil, pour it over the mixture .
4. Pour the honey over the mixture and stir to combine .
5. Spread the mixture onto greased large baking sheets( it took 4 pans for the amount I made – remember we’re a large family)
6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
8. Add the dried fruit to the cereal mixture and toss to combine.
9, Store in a sealed container until ready to use.

Enjoy!
