Homemade Oat Crunch Cereal
What to eat for breakfast when you are trying to lose weight can be a bit tricky. You could go for an omelette with plenty of veg added to it which would be great. But most people don’t really have the time to prepare and cook that in the morning. You could go for porridge, but that still takes a few mins cooking time and I find a lot of people still find that tricky. You definitely want to stay away from toast and even worse would be a processed sugary cereal.
A lot of people love either a muesli or an oat crunch cereal/granola. The problem is they are full of refined and processed sugar and will therefore spike your blood sugar levels, not fulfil you and will mean you will be hungry again mid-morning. But the good news is you can make a really healthy and natural version of an oaty crunch cereal yourself. It takes very little time to prepare and you can make a big batch and store it in a container and it will last for weeks.
Homemade Oat Crunch Cereal – Recipe
This recipe makes 27 servings. This is on the assumption of a 50 gram portion serving.
1kg – Oats (I prefer jumbo oats but that’s totally up to you)
150 grams runny honey
100 grams sultanas
50 grams mixed seeds
50 grams hazelnuts
Put the oats in a large oven proof dish and mix in with the honey. Put in a 150 degree oven for an hour. Then mix in the remaining ingredients and put back in the oven for a final 15 minutes. That’s it! It couldn’t be simpler.
The total for the recipe is 5132 calories. So for a 50 gram servings that’s 190 calories. Add 100ml of semi skimmed milk you have a total of 240 calories. Of course you don’t have to put in all the nuts and seeds. Whilst they are very good for you and add a nice crunch you could reduce the calories even further by not adding them.
Conclusion – Homemade Oat Crunch Cereal
This is a seriously quick and easy recipe that will last you weeks. So much healthier than any cereal you can buy.
