Chris’s super healthy breakfast cereal


So for the last week or so we have all been eating our new home-made breakfast cereal.   Breakfast is an important meal, but most of us just do not leave time for it anymore.  Here is a healthy recipe that is fast easy and fairly cheap.  So let’s get started.  Run down to Wally World and grab a big container of old- fashion rolled oats, a pound of cashews and a pound of almonds.  You will also need some graham crackers and a jar of honey.   Now the famous healthy Chris mixes this with a wooden spoon in a bowl made of healthy organic wood or maybe a vegetable bowl.  Yeah that will work so I put everything in my stand mixer and then I can drink coffee while it does the hard work.  So take half your container of oats; toss them in your bowl.  Take 1/2 your nuts and chop them up about in thirds, toss um in the bowl.  Take 3 of 4 of your graham crackers and break them up to about the same size as the nuts, toss um in the bowl.  Now I was given the recipe and the amount of honey was ½ cup but you want enough honey to mix though all the oats.  I think I ended up with closer to ¾ of a cup.  So start your mixer and toss in a ½ cup of honey let it mix a bit.  If it is still a bit dry add some more honey.  Once it is mixed up pour it out on a rimmed baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until it is fragrant and starts to brown.  I usually flip it over with a spatula when it is half way through.  Let it cool and put it in an air tight container it will last for a long time.  I usually eat it with yogurt on top but it can also be eaten with milk. 

1 lbs. whole rolled oats
½ lbs. chopped cashews
½ lbs. chopped almonds
½ cup of honey
3 to 4 graham crackers

Mix oats almonds, cashews and crackers in a large bowl. Add honey and mix to combine.  Pour onto a rimmed baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees until brown and fragrant turning over half way through.
Store in an airtight container.
