After lots of research I have become beyond frustrated with the contents in our most popular food in our home, cereal.  Did you know I could not find a single legitimate recipe for cereal.  When I say cereal I mean the stuff you buy at the store in the shape of circles, rice, and flakes. When I become determined, watch out!

Here are the sites that I feel educated me the most in creating an amazing cereal;
http://www.realfoodfreaks.com/2011/09/14/is-cereal-good-for-you/
The recipe I adjusted from this site
http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/homemade-cold-breakfast-cereal-grain-free/
The reason I changed this recipe is because I did became intimidated by the almond and coconut flours.  So by all means if this is not intimidating to try the original recipe. 

Peanut Butter Cookie cereal

Ingredients

5 cups- All purpose flour
4 cups- milk-  Really you are just making a dough.
2 3/4 cups- peanut butter
1 cup- honey
1 teaspoon- salt
2 teaspoons- baking soda
2 teaspoons- Vanilla


Directions

Place flour and milk in a large bowl mix together and let sit out on counter overnight. Cover with a towel.
After allowing dough to rest overnight mix remain ingredients in bowl with the dough. 
Divide the dough into 2- 9x11 dishes.  You are making a type of cake.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
After cake cools crumble cake onto cookie sheet into cereal size pieces. 
Place back in the oven at 200 degrees until drys completely. 
This recipe made 2 gallon size bags of cereal.

Now you can have cereal and really know what you are eating.
I think it taste like you are dipping a peanut butter cookie in milk but you still get the crunch of cereal.
