I make my own GF Mix - made up huge batches and poured into 5 gal bucket with gamma lid to store so nothing can get into it - but gamma lid makes it easy to open up and fill your canister that you use day to day. 1 c oat flour, 1/2 cup corn starch, 3/4 c coconut flour, 3/4cup sweet rice flour, and one pound of Betty Crocker's rice flour blend. Use 1:1 for flour in recipes upping the amount of baking powder listed in the recipe and the appropriate amount of xanthan gum based on whether you are making cake, cookies, bread, etc.

I hope you enjoy this one - I can't believe how expensive cereal is getting and find using this recipe pretty economical. If quick oats are on sale I will sometimes use those in place of the irish oats. With the size boxes I can get at the grocery, one box each of the oats, grape nuts, cranberries, and raisins is enough to make around 2 to maybe 2 1/2 recipes of this cereal - the seasonings are in small amounts and always on hand which just leaves the almonds, which could even be replaced with other nuts (I replaced with chopped pecans once when I found a nice sale on them and it worked out equally well).

I just registered recently and this is my first time posting so just jumping in (I actually typed this a moment ago and hit upload but it didnt' come across - sorry if this double posts). Here is the homemade cereal I make that is a result of taking a lot of recipes from around the net and just making changes here and there until finding the right combo for me. My favorite is just to sprinkle with a little splenda and add some cold milk. Homemade Cereal 3 cups uncooked Irish oats 3 cups bran buds cereal (or grape nuts) ½ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground clove 2 small bags blanched slivered almonds 1 cup dried cranberries 1 cup white raisins Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl or pot. Store cereal in tightly covered container, mason jars, or zip bags. Recipe makes enough to fill a little over 2 – 1qt mason jars. Serving: Packet of Splenda then cover with milk Stir into favorite yogurt Packet of Splenda then cover with hot milk for a hot cereal If hot milk unavailable – Packet of Splenda…add 1 tsp non-fat non-dairy powdered creamer (for creaminess) then cover with hot water. **If making as hot cereal – pour the hot milk (or hot water) over cereal and let stand 3-5 minutes to soften the bran and oats.
