GLUTEN-FREE HOMEMADE GRAPE NUTS



GLUTEN-FREE HOMEMADE GRAPE NUTS image

Categories     Breakfast     Bake     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 c. whole-grain gluten free flours (I used 1 c. GF oat flour, 1 c. sorghum flour, 3/4 c. brown rice flour, 3/4 c. teff flour)
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. milk

Steps:

  • Combine the dry ingredients and mix in the milk. The mixture should be something like cookie dough (not the pudding consistency of GF yeast bread). Spread it 3/4-1" thick on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 20-25 min. Remove the tray from the oven and cool for 20-30 min. Break up the baked bread into large chunks and pulse in food processor until the pieces are the size of Grape Nuts. Spread over two jelly roll pans and bake at 300 for 1 hour. Stir every 15 min. Let them cool before eating or storing.

Tips:

  • Use ripe grapes for a sweeter flavor.
  • Soak the grapes in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to soften them.
  • Use a food processor or blender to chop the grapes into small pieces.
  • Spread the chopped grapes in a thin layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the grapes at a low temperature (150-170°F) for several hours, until they are dry and crispy.
  • Stir the grapes occasionally during baking to ensure even drying.
  • Store the finished Grape-Nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Conclusion:

Making homemade Grape-Nuts is a simple and rewarding process. With a little time and patience, you can create a delicious and healthy cereal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Experiment with different flavors by adding spices, nuts, or dried fruits to the mixture. Once you have made your own Grape-Nuts, you will never want to buy store-bought cereal again!
